Vanda vietnamica finally in bloom!!!!

[CR7cristiano]

Finally I get to see a nice up close picture of one of these.....I love it! Great growing; looks very healthy. This by the way is a Natural hybrid not a specie of vanda Bud. Just to clear that up.
I definitely want to get one now though, wasn't sure before.

Thanks for the visit.

* how did you arrive at the conclusion that Vanda vietnamica formerly known as Christensonia vietnamica is a hybrid?
That is news to me....

Maybe you can give me the parent hybrid of Vanda vietnamica.…if you say it is a hybrid?

A natural Hybrid is one occurring on its own in nature.
As of now it was moved from the genus christensonia to vanda and vietnamica is the epithet. Those two come together to create this natural hybrid. Now classified as a vanda.
