Vanda coerulea (The Wild Form)

[Andre]

Great plant!!!
I just love this species. I have one 'wild' one the flowers vary in color depending on temperature. It has bloomed almost from a white color to a nice pale blue color.
I grow it outside here in Vancouver. BC from April until the end of October. It is quite tolerant to cool temps. I keep mine on the dry side during our winter in a cool west window, and it is very happy.

Thank You, Andre! when this first opened its blooms it was white, but after a week had passed, it is turning light sky blue from the center of the petal in a monocromatic hue to the edges...and the fragrance is more noticeable in the mornings and fades at night...

Thank You, Philippe! since your location is Thailand: I am sure you can find this form of Vanda easily...and you can even grow this outdoors up on a tree

Thank You, Ron ! I got lucky on this...I didnt expect it to be the wild form...we really dont know until the plant blooms and reveal itself...

After more than 3 years, I have been given more flowers, bigger blooms with vivid colors of pale blue and the tessellations more prominent....even the form seems more robust than when it first bloomed with thin flowers with almost white colors on my first postings. The plant appears to be taller thru the years with more leaves and the pencil thick roots seems to make this orchid plant healthy and happy.
