Really beautiful Bud! I would love one of these! Does it bloom often? The Darwinara Blue star is another hybrid that I would love to have. I am running out of space, so I have to start looking at miniatures.

I have Darwinara Charm Blue star and it is reliable but not prolific bloomer. I have it in 1 4" teak Basket. It is just starting to bloom now, so I will be posting pics soon , It is a beautiful deep sky blue.
I'm focusing on miniatures too and for the same reasons

Thank You, Vanda Lover !!!!
Thank You, Carrie !!!!
@Cristiano: I am glad to have friends who gives me orchids....sometimes I invite them for some little get together parties at my place and they see the orchids I have all over the apartment....that gives them ideas on what to give me for my birthday or some occations.... I was also given seedlings and a flask to my dismay that it takes more of my time than the mature well established ones

Oh dear! @ the flask front...thats a really delicate and long waiting game. Cant say i'm jealous of that part, but yes my friend also see all my Display fotos on my blackberry and even a dedicated hobbies folder on my FB and they get ideas as well for christmas and birthday gifts
I'm dying for these new spikes/blooms to open so i can send a wide shot of the cherry tree i am hanging them all on. Hopefully the Prao sky blue doesnt fade by then. My Pat's delights has now fully opened too....and like 10 others spikes or more are almost at the blooming stage. Ugh! i have to stop checking on them so it doesnt seem longer that it rly is. lol

The only orchids available here are phals, so I keep getting them given to me as gifts. It would be nice if we had an orchid grower nearby. Then I would have more variety. They can't be shipped for Xmas.

Thank's Bud. I'm going to have to stop collecting for now. I've almost filled every available space. I wish I could add a sun room! Maybe I can find a corner that I can put some lights in.

You can adjust the tables and tiers....and the hooks can be added above the window frames to add more hanging Vandas....

I've got the hooks, the vandas are all next to each other and I even hang a few more baskets off those. The windowsills are all busy and the table in front of the hanging ones is fill. Don't worry. I'll find more room!
