Very beautiful specie.
I have one of those as well but I haven't seen it blooking yet.
How big is your plant ? Mine is not as big that's maybe why.

I think that's the case. No one here can actually give up orchids for Lent. And why would you, when all you're doing is increasing the beauty of the World? If you give up something that is neutral or takes AWAY from the World, i can see giving it up for Lent... but not orchids! Those add to it.

Philippe, the leaf span of the plant is only 11" ( ~ 25cm), but it appears that it has bloomed consistantly.

Since it came in a pot, I took it out of it and hang it with a wire along with my other Vandas.

Vanda in our climate needs alot of watering, as it has no water storing organs. You can NPK 20:20:20 1gm/litre water sprayed two days a week and 06:12:36 sprayed once a week. Weekly use Fungicide like Indofil. This should work from my experience. Others! any expert advice ?
