Vanda tricolor, var suavis
I spent a good amount at a close-out sale, and got this one as a freebie. It was a keiki from a very large bushy plant, a couple of years from blooming size.
As most other tricolors in the US, it is variety suavis, which has a more distinctive appearance than the standard tricolor. It carries a light fragrance, and on this spike, there happens to be a 'siamese twin' flower.

I've always loved this species. I really would love to get my hands on the alba form of this. The sharp contrasting markings on the alba is to die for. Anyone know where I might pick up a small one?!  |
