Default Vanda tricolor in bloom
This plant came to me as an estate rescue. Over the years the roots have grown to about 8 ft (they lay on the greenhouse floor). It has 5 growing shoots and the two largest take turns blooming.

2 1/2" across the petals - I think the late winter/early spring blooms may push 3".

What you have is Vanda tricolor, variety suavis.

Std tricolor is yellow/brown with the purple lip.

Thanks - it was originally labeled V. suavis var. tricolor and I had read that suavis was reduced to synonym. Good to know the the difference is recognized as a variety.
