Very nice Lars, can't wait for mine to flower.
BTW, now known as V. testacea

This is gorgeous! Rich yellow color reminds me of denisoniana while lip color resembles tesselata. Flower form is somewhere between the two.

Vanda parviflora is also know as vanda testacea. There is a CHM (certificate of horticultural merit) for each on AOS. The parviflora has 26 flowers, 4 buds on 1 inflorescence; testacea 16 flowers, 32 buds on 7 inflorescences.

Although a first time bloomer, how does your plant compare? Is it fragrant? How large is overall plant?

I would love to have one of these in my collection!

Thanks for sharing.

It's fairly small: about 3" leaf span and maybe 5" tall. The flowers are also quite small: maybe 1/2". I can't recognize a scent, but then my sense of smell isn't very well developed. 10 flowers on one spike.

Thanks for providing the extra info.
