My first "True" Euanthe Sanderiana (aka Waling-Waling)

[makaldoy]

after patiently waiting for several months then finally i got my very first "true" vanda sanderiana.

some pics (to minimize doubts i also include image that focus on "spur" part of the flower)







Will update you soon after i obtain the alba variety. See you later.

Beautiful! Flowers are huge ... have you measured them?
Did you just buy the plant or have you been nurturing it for a time?
Nice growing!

bought it last friday for about $20 (1K Php)

there are lot to choose from the store. Not measured yet and yes this one has the largest bloom and the plant itself is in good condition. there are some with smaller flowers and the other one (it's just only one that time) with yellowish coloration on upper petal and yellowish margin on lower petals. at first i doubt if it is real sanderiana but the lip is exactly as shown above so i must convinced that's another variety of E.S.

Again ... a beautiful flower and what appears to be a very robust inflorescence. I'd love to shop at your store!

Most orchid stores here carry this plant since July till September (or october) is sanderiana's blooming season here. you can have a lot of choices (from plant size, flower quality and variety).

Really gorgeous. I have a complex hybrid with this as over 60% of the parantage, great to see what the parnet looks like.

Re: flower quality, this usually refers to fullness, roundness, flatness of flower per AAOS standards. We also look at integrity of color. Malkadoy's plant shows good, crisp color definition on the segments. These are crisp, clear and not at all muddy. Overall, a very nice flower on a strong inflorescence in my opinion..
