My Vanda Noid is in double spike!!

[LovePhals]

I am so happy I tried Vandas this year. I got this plant in flower in October. It is now in double spike. It only rested a few weeks before putting out a spike. Now it has put out another! The spikes on this get pretty long with lots of flowers. I am not sure if it is a Vascostylis or Ascocenda or how to know. It is my first one to spike under my care

They are no longer called Vascostylis anymore; now Vandacostylis.

Really? I always thought that vascostylis differed from vandachostylis?

vascostylis being Ascocentrum × Rhynchostylis × Vanda

vandachostylis being Rhynchostylis × Vanda

Nope...that's rhynchovanda. I just got my "vascostylis" prapawan awarded....its now Vandacostylis.

So how long since this was changed? I only ask as i know of a few vendors who still sell plants labelled vascostylis. I guess i have to write some new tags as well!!

They changed this late last year. But many vendors haven't bothered to change the names because they probably have them printed already....in time though; even r orchids has acknowledged the change even though they admitted the tags would not show this until they slowly change them out.

Phewww! For a moment I was feeling a little embarrassed......

Thanks all Well then, I guess it is a Ascocenda or Vandacostylis. And Joy, yes I do have a pic from last blooming, here it is!
