Vanda merrillii var rotorii

[rastafouni]

Hi Ted,

I don't konw if it is correct in botanic but in Thailand a plant who is blooming multiple times during the year and if it can be at any moment of the year is said to be free flowering.
Talking about Vanda by example, V.tessellata in tropical climate is blooming all year round almost non stop : it is said to be "free flrowering'. V. ustii who is blooming many times during the year - but not non stop- with blooms who can appear at any time of the year is said to be "free flowering" as well. V. coerulea who can have many blooms in a row as well but only during a specific season from July to December is not "free flowering". V. bensonii who can bloom at any times of the year but not many times is not said to be "free flowering" as well.
Again, I don't know if it is correct in a botanic way but it is usually the way that selller and orchids lovers call "free flowering" plants here.

Hello Phillipe,

Thanks for the explanation. I think I got it.
