It seems to me that blooms become all so important, but to me without plant health it could be that orchids last bloom! Early on I had this happen with a ascocenda. In this hobby of ours patience and persistence does bring rewards! The best of luck with your new T5 lights and your healthy vanda Minda.

Thanks, alsorchids. This is my first, and only Vanda, so I'm very happy that it is happy and thriving. I do want to get another one to try in a vase.
