Vanda roeblingiana
Vanda roeblingiana is an easy vanda to grow.
In Taiwan, it usually blooms in late summer. The flowers are long-lasting but not fragrance.

It looks like it blooms on a small plant. Am I right to assume this?

Nice. Thanks. Beautifully unusual flowers. Any plans to pollinate them?

I do not want to pollinate them because it usually takes several years to raise the seedlings of vandas.

Unfortunately it got a crown rot that I did not catch in time to save the plant... ![Sad](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif) I do hope to replace it some day, but I haven't found it available yet. ![Very Happy](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
