there is the wild form of coerulea and the other two variant forms(I suggest you do a research on this and look at the blooms); the blue vanda will definitely react to sanderiana strain and produce a totally different flower
*here are pictures of coerulea I found in the net and compare it to the picture of my Euentha sanderiana that is currently also in bloom

You misread my wording. I said 'it's not pure Vanda coerulea. It has Vanda sandarina's (lets just call it Vanda in this case, coz that is majority of peoples know this is, even thou Euthane scientifically) blood in the plant. Probably a hybrid.
I know what sanderina looks like both in flower and vegetatively. I said it has sanderiana blood in the flower because the flower is round and uniform, and has the obvious sanderina spotting on the base of the petals/sepals.
Also the color is too dark for coerulea. Pure coerulea is more sky blue color and the flower is in more indigo shade. Also nomatter how line breeded V. coerulea is, the petal still reflex a little bit.
Also the plant is not V.coerulea growth habit. V. coerulea has a very short leaf, that is more or less horizontal and the leaf bracts are more visible and higher than other vanda.
