Mokara Sayan X Vanda Kultana 'Gold' in bloom
This has bloomed before when I got it from whiteoaksorchids.com last summer as a gift from my mother(Mom likes to give me gifts on mother's day=its the other way around=she refuses to accept any gift from me except on her birthday(to light a candle in St. Patrick's Cathedral in her honor & nothing else will suffice)=even christmas she rather give me gifts but returns anything I give her...*she's weird*---she says I'm a starving artist and she is way richer than me)
The plant is a 5 year old specimen
Light: Medium to High(I give it direct sunlight from daybreak to 10 am on a southern facing window)
Temperature: Intermediate to warm(80F daytime 65F at night)
Its got 4 inches orange flowers with red spots(I have seen some flowers of this plant in the net without the spots)
It loves to drink and feeds a lot...the roots tend to go out of the pot and everywhere(media= large lava rocks, coco chips, perlite, charcoal and hydroton)
