V. coerulea 'Mount Coolah'
This plant hadn't flowered for years before I bought it. Its taken 3 years & lots of verbal abuse but it finally worked. 10 flowers/buds so far.

RF orchids has nice coeruleas and so does Aloha orchid nursery. Aloha has a very nice improved progency bred for better flowers n colour. Just thought you'd like to know if you are fond of this specie.

Thanks but getting them into Australia as plants is deadly for the plants, in flask is generally ok. Some I've seen are questionable in being genuine also.
There are some Thai coerulea seedlings here & I do have one in spike, will be some time yet to bloom. Supposed to be one of these improved forms. Time will tell. |

Awesome! Well happy waiting! 
I know a thai grower that has too. You should also get a V. rothschildiana...those are lovely and stunning in heavy bloom! |

I have a V. Roth' but only small. I have a few years ago they did well. With all the Vanda type plants I have now, reduction rather than purchase is more the go.

Here is a pic of the full spike, a little damaged now & part of the plant.
