Son muy bonitas, enhorabuena!

THANKS!!!
Well, maybe now that we don´t have above 35ºC, this mild temperature could help to induce flowering.... but both plants bloomed in the hotter season too, last August. I don´t know why vandas bloom. With cattleyas and other sympodials, or phalaenopsis I know more or less when they are going to flowering. But maybe this mystery with vandas is something that I like... :-)

¡Gracias por tus comentarios! :-)

They are all so gorgeous, congrats on the blooms! The deep/dark purple and pink Noid with ruffled edges are amazing!

Cool nights (50-55) for coerulea may help. This was my normal temp for most of the year. Regular bloomer. Some clones are misers with the spikes.

Well... we have mild temperatures in winter... and just for a few weeks... I'm start thinking blue vandas with strong coerulea blood are difficult here.... and the same with some vanda species... my tricolor is amazing 2 feet from tip to tip but no flowers... :-(, but it has 2 keikis... we will see... :-)

Thanks for your advices!

Absolutely beautiful and such healthy looking plants.

Another possible method you might use is low N and higher P, K. until spikes "may" appear. I'm using 3-10-10 now lightly with every watering and will change to higher N for more growth. with the above formulas plus chill, most vandas bloom 2x year. I also have a 3' stem Ascda with no spikes. I like your pics.
