Vanda Keeree
I purchased this plant in 1990. It was my first vanda. It hangs eight feet high in the greenhouse in the brightest corner and the roots are all the way to the floor. I have given several flowering size keikis to friends and it still has four growths that currently have five spikes. It blooms two to three times per year and the flowers are about five inches. I would like to have photographed the entire plant but this is the best picture I could get because it is surrounded by other plants and it can't be moved since the roots are strongly attached to everything around it.

I wish I could get a picture of the complete plant but it is too massive to move and there are numerous other plants in front of it that I don't have the inspiration to move at this point. |

Sorry CR7, there are currently no keikis. I even looked at the plant from a step ladder to be sure that no small ones were forming that were not visible from the ground. I will keep you in mind if any do develop.
