Vanda 'Sansai' Blue
Our one and only vanda which we got a little over a year ago an this is it's second blooming. It has been troublesome lately, but maybe vanda's just are in a northern climate. Maybe I'll develop vanda voodoo soon  , hopefully.

Nice Barb! I have the same one blooming at the moment. I agree that growing Vandas in the north is very challenging.

Beautiful. Are you growing this one in a greenhouse or indoors?

Thanks all. 
It's growing indoors in a south-east window under lights where it gets alot of light.
Tindo, I took this picture a few months ago and only just now realized that I forgot to post it. Don't know why it desided to bloom so early, I always thought vanda's, even cool tolerant ones such as this, prefered warmer conditions. |

I thought it would be near impossible to grow Vandas indoors! Excellent growing indoors then.
I did purchase a Paraphalaenopsis serpentilingua x Vascostylis Tham Yuen Hae to try out

Just to resurrect an old thread, my Sansai blue now blooms in summer and winter, usually with two spikes, and I live in Birmingham, England ! Lateral thinking is the key for us northern growers.

Hi -- I am on easter Long Island (NY/USA), and it is always windy, cold in winter, and gorgeous in the summer! I wrote in a couple of days ago about my Sansai Blue (only one plant in addition to four other very healthy vandas!). The email was directed to "Pests and Diseases" and is entitled Vanda Sansai Blue, with cracks in multiple roots." As a northern grower, have you seen something like this? If you could check out my message, I would love to hear from you! I am a typical orchid nut, and have many different kinds of orchid in a small glass house, including keikis from phalaenopses and dendrobiums!
Thanks,
Marianne
