I have this hanging under a tree with all my other Vanda's, they get watered everyday, we are not in a drought situation in South Florida like you have in California. We have not had the rain this summer that we normally get but it has gotten better and now we are getting into the period of tropical storms and hurricanes which normally brings us more rain, I will take the tropical storms but don't like the hurricanes.
This is the last picture of this one, I have lost a couple of blooms and still have 1 bud left to open. I hope I get as lucky next year with the same amount of flowers!
