Thats a different RD, Naoki. Haven't seen anything like it. Quite eye catching.

Thanks, Beverly. No, I don't. I grow all my plants under HID lights.

I thought so. It's much lighter color than any other I have seen.

Sad part is that they did not bloom for the show, which was held over the weekend. And I forgot to take any pictures.

It's beautiful. I would expect it to be a much darker blue but this is very pretty just as it is. I love anything blue, and I especially like blue vandas.

Marilyn, this one is from Orchidaceae. If I remember correctly, don't you have a few Vandas from them?

That's a beautiful lavender Vanda. I love the dark spotting on the pale background.

I do, too. It's not so much that I don't have the room to hang more (actually, I still have a lot of hanging space, though my ground space is almost full). It's just that I have such a hard time growing and flowering them. When I see these pics, I turn as green as my plants.
