Vandopsis lissochiloides & Vanda pumila ?????

[peeweelovesbooks]

Hi all.


Maria here (the crazy and orchid-instatiable girl she is, ahem......) is thinking of buying a one flask of each of the above-named orchids. She is thinking of purchasing them from this ebay guy from out of the country.


Maria and I checked IOSPE, and several other web sources. They seem to be interesting plants. Huge, but interesting. HUGE, but scented....at least the lissochiloides.

In any event....I wanted to check if any of you vandaceous experts grew these and what you can share with us about the plants. IOSPE says the lissochiloides is huge..... and that both are scented?

If you own these, can you share pictures/growing tips, culture or any other information? I appreciate it.

I try to control her, but Maria always sneaks in orchid purchases and such when I'm asleep. SIGH.


Thanks and happy growing!!!
