My plant is not awarded though. The tag just reads Rhv. Hervert Kurihara Pink. Enjoy your many blooms yet to come.

Because the inflorescence is well-covered with long-lasting flowers, Rhv. Herbert Kurihara has been mericloned for use in cut flower trade and is also widely available at big box stores. (Lowe's stores in NH had a huge inventory of Rhv. Herbert Kurihara Pink at Mother's Day 2009. And the rhynchovanda (properly named vandachostylis) is a flower of choice for lei-making.

Susanne, keep up the great growing! I'd be very disappointed to hear that you'd given up on vandae.

I love them too much to give up on them...but I am making an effort to not add any to what's already here. With the extra work that goes along with them being happy is a bit too much for me these days

Thanks for your vote of confidence
