I have rearranged my growing area so I can fit 1 Rhy. and 1 other vandaceous!

What is your favorite vandaceous? Looking for suggestions for high light.

How about Aerides houlletiana. Beautiful, not to big, and fragrant. AL

My pac chong blue Vanda is my favourite. It has 2 spikes coming, after a dull winter! It blooms 3 times a year.

These are my favorites in my collection.
Vascostylis Pine Rivers 'Fushia Delight' is a very frequent bloomer with bright fushia lavander flowers on long spikes. It can be found in other colors.
Ascocenda Princess Mikasa 'Indigo' is a popular orchid. It's a frequent bloomer with fairly large grape purple flowers. It can also be found in pink.
Ascocenda Sucksamran Sunlight is a popular orchid that you see often. It's orangish/yellow and is a frequent bloomer.
Ascocenda Crownfox Butterball 'Sunshine'. This is a lemon yellow orchid that is also a frequent bloomer.
Vascostylis Viboon Velvet 'Perfection' is a very frequent bloomer. It's white with a bluish purple lip.

Ohhh. I like this thread. Thank you for starting it.

Based on the color, my fave would be Ascda. Blue Tahourdin 'Bronze Grape' This is my recent post and it is spiking again. Ascda. Blue Tahourdin 'Bronze Grape'

And based on the scent, I love my V. Arjuna ( V. Mimi Palmer x V. tessellata ).
