Vanda tessellata x Vanda vietnamica syn Christensonia vietnamica

[Bud]

I got this orchid plant from a grower in Kissimmee, Florida a couple of years ago. The parent combination intrigued me; I was curious what kind of flowers it will bring.
This plant produced 2.5" chartreuse flowers with white lips, the petal form look pretty much like the tessellata parent but the color and lip looked like the vietnamica. I should have taken this indoors while in spike=some insects sucked on the buds and created discolorations on the edges of the petals. Oh well maybe I will get a perfect flower with bigger, flatter and vivid colors next blooming cycle. It has the pleasant fragrant smell of hyacinth in the early morning that fades at noon.
This plant stands two and a half feet tall, a leaf span of 16inches with a root length of three feet and I am thrilled that it gave me 2 keikis.
This is outdoors in the summer and indoors in vase culture in the winter placed at the south facing bay window. I feed it k-lite fertilizer and seaweed mix weekly weakly by soaking it in the mixture for ten minutes. I spray it every morning and fill the vase with water every other day.
