V. Apec Blue Dbl Spike
This is a very special plant for me; I have always seen it and wanted one for my collection of vandas. To my surprise I was given one as a gift for helping out a friend. It even has 4 relatively large keikis on it! I always was fascinated at how the throat of the flower blended in with the petals/sepals and the contrast you get with the pale anther cap. Most vandas have a distinctly contrasting throat from the flower but on Apec blue it really blends and makes the flower pop and almost as if all petals & sepals are fused into one round surface with a dot in the middle. 
Hope you can appreciate this beauty as much as I do; enjoy!  |

Gorgeous!! I can understand why you wanted one for your collection! I also love the coloring and agree that it is very different for a vanda.

I know right! If it was for the camera flash it would look like round platters with white dots.

It was only this morning that I was thinking to myself that you'd been a bit quiet of late! A very nice plant and good looking flowers mate!

Weeellll.....actually I have a ton more blooms to photograph, but I been traveling and I just got back home. It was night time and I decided to start with this sexy lady cuz she's on my back veranda.
