I gave the three of them away when they were only about a foot in height and width. I just don't have the space for something that large that is only going to bloom once a year.

If you want a nice, small Vanda that is easy to grow indoors, you might want to try Neofinetia, Ascocentrum pumilum, or Vanda coerulescens. They are all the fun of a large Vanda but great for small spaces. The Ascocentrum even blooms multiple times a year!

You can start with a mini vanda. They have them at Motes starting at $10 up with $12 shipping. They come bare rooted. Just read the description to make sure of size.

Neos (now called vanda) are great. I have an Aeridovanda (neofinetia falcuta x aerides odorata) which was in bloom in May and I now have another large flower spike growing. The plant is maybe 10 inches or smaller.

That would be perfect for me. I can adjust the height on my lights so I can handle orchids up to about 2 feet tall but that would be the max and that would be pushing it. I will be keeping a eye on his site and hopefully he will have something available when the weather outside wont try to kill my orchid. lol

I have been extremely happy with the Vanda seedlings I have bought from Motes this year.

denisoniana x lawrencea will be a fairly big plant. I am guessing that total width will be in 14-20" range, and it will probably need to grow to 18"+ in height before it is blooming size.

There are a number of small to intermediate hybrids, which might be better suited for an indoor light set-up - incl some of the pure Ascocentrum species.
