hello everybody !
I'm just a new member and I have only this plant who is blooming right now. 2 Aerides will come soon and tessellata var. alba just finished a few days ago. This colour is coming from, at least Sri Lanka, but maybe other places too.

That's absolutely stunning. I love this vanda species for the fragrant blooms and the super vigor that the plant has (I have three different varieties). How big (height and leaf span) is your plant? What kind of aerides do you have? Congratulations on your beautiful flowers.

Thanks everybody ! The plant by itself is 50 cm and the leaves are around 17 cm. That's nice to have 3 different varieties. What other colour does exist ? It's a non native Vanda of Thailand so it's not always easy to get it here.
I have Aerides crassifolia, houlettiana and odora.
AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE WARM WELCOMING !
NENELLA : francais moi aussi .

Yes .Here in Sri Lanka we get this color.
Long ago I have produced a pic and its rather bigger/larger spike.

Thanks for the picture. I love the crinkle around the edges. I should consider finding myself one of those.

Please post pictures of your Aerides crassifolia when it blooms. I was given an unknown basket with something which I think may be Aerides crassifolia. I would like to compare yours to my basket.
