Beautiful flowers? I have seen and heard of people growing Vanda's in glass vases, but I have not heard about using holes in the bottom, can you tell me why you are using the holes in the bottom and how it works for you?

Love the color! And obviously a very happy plant!  |

Good job, Bud! Looks like it has miniatum in the background?

Thank You, Gloria
Thank You, Tucker
Thank You, Becca
Thank You Sonya
Thank You, Gage
-Becca=The glass have holes so all I have to do is put it in the sink and water the plant...then let it drip and back to the windowsill...in the afternoon I just spritz...(this is just in winter...in summer they are hanged bareroot on the fire escape=vandas love the hot and humid Manhattan summers...
@Gage: its a one year old keiki...I dont like to separate it from the mother...maybe someday they both will bloom a spectacular show...

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I meant that your Ascocenda looks looks like it has Ascocentrum miniatum in its parentage.  |

Bud, nice blooms. I have an exact same cross, but mine only blooms once a year between August and September. It's a keeper.
