That is a fantastic bloom. How large a plant is it?

The plant is now about 8" tall. It is a slow grower and for a seedling, it may take more than 6 years to become a blooming size plant.

Cool! I only have Aer. lawrenceana, but I love these "daughters of the wind". Very nice, Pheli! |

Beautiful orchid and nice pictures. Back lighting is really effective. Good job!

The 8" size sounds great but I'm not so sure I want to wait 6 years for blooms. I think before I buy one I will ask, how long before I can expect blooms. Sometimes I wish I were 25 again, then waiting 6 years isn't so long.

A. lawrenceana is a classic aerides. I also love it.

Thanks Don. Back light is always good for taking photos. But it seems not work well on green or white flowers. |

If possible, pick the plant that has ever bloomed. Some seedlings of vanda or its relatives are notorous for their flowering abilities. |
