Very nice, esp. I like the Trevor Rathbone in pink. The ones I have seen are all Blue-purple.

The blue vanda is very nice & I think its V. Sansai Blue "Blue Diamond".
The T Rathbone is a good color, not many pinks about, only blues as Naoki said.
The Orange Ascda is a Ascda Suksamran Sunlight.

you are correct on all three
except the full name of the orange is Ascda Suksamran Sunlight 'Sweet Orange'
the trevor starts off pink and fades to purple as the blooms mature

here's another pic. this one only blooms once a year, and right now it has 60 leaves - it's so tall I have trouble maneuvering it to soak every day!
It's due to bloom any time now - probably right after I change the lightbulb on the HPS lamp.

Really nice work. The blooms on the 'sweet orange' are spectacular.
So jealous! I would love to grow these, but I just don't have anywhere near enough light. I can grow vicariously through you thanks to the OB.
Thanks for sharing.
