Vanda Pine River Pink

[flhiker]

I got this as a freebie from a bill_asian on ebay about 3 years ago for getting 3 plants. It's the 3rd time blooming but the flowers in the past where very poor. Blasting, small, damaged ect... But this time it's seems to be much better. The flowers are about the size of a quarter and a little more on the purple side then pink. I know I shouldn't count my buds before they open but if they all make it there is going to be about 30.

Hi Dave. That is a pretty Vascostylis you have there.

Really nice. Love the colour. Really hope you get all those buds open!

Pretty. Please post a photo when it is in full bloom. Can you post a photo of the whole plant?

Your plant is Vascostylis Pine River(s), a cross of Ascda. Peggy Foo x Rhynchostylis coelestis. First flowerings on my Vasco. Pine Rivers were quite disappointing - bud blast, bud rot, poorly shaped flowers. Once I got the temp, light, humidity balanced, subsequent blooms have been good.
BTW, the flowers on this blooming of your plant look quite nice! Good growing!

Thanks everyone. Marilyn I will post a picture when I can. I dunked my camera under the water yesterday in the swamps. Still waiting for it to dry out to see if it works.
Ted and Cneos Thanks for the ID. I was told this before and forgot to change the tag.
