V. Sansai Blue 'Acker's Pride' FCC/AOS

[Jayfar]

Got this in-spike about 3-1/2 weeks ago from RF Orchids. It burst forth with 6 closely spaced blooms about a week ago. I did manage to partially sunburn a couple leaves when I had it hanging higher, closer to the 200W daylight CFL light.

My humidity is terrible, even with a humidifier, but one or two trips daily to the shower and occasional misting seems to suffice so far. In the forerground is a V. tricolor from Parkside.

Well, those December blooms finished off a couple weeks ago; I think they lasted about a month and a half. Not bad considering my constant struggle to keep my humidity above 30% (I do use a humidifier and I take my Vandas to the shower at least once daily in the morning). Much to my delight, I noticed a couple days ago that the next spike had already emerged and was about 1-1/2" by the time I spotted it. Spikes are sneaky that way sometimes, eh?
