NoID purple vanda in bloom
First bought this vanda from Lowe's in June of this year. Very large dark purple spotted flowers and excellent root system. I then decided to report it into a large hanging basket with a bark/moss mixture. Left it outside in partial shade under a tree. This time it decided to rebloom with two spikes! Still not sure what the ID is. Closest thing online is a Sunanda "midnight black."
The purple color shows through better when there's sun: 
A full shot: 
And here it was back in June in it's original basket from Lowe's. It had one spike back then:  |

Yow! It's grown a lot! Is the bloom spike from June visible in the current photo as a dried stalk, two leaves down from the right flower cluster?

Sharp eyes you have! Yep that was the old stalk where I cut. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to bloom again so soon. We did have a very wet summer in Florida, and I suppose that must have helped. Also. Thanks for the welcome! |
