Aerides -> Ascocentrum -> Vanda rubescens
Purchased as Aerides rubescens, it was reclassified as an Ascocentrum, so I guess it is considered a Vanda today. It is a sib cross, which bloomed first time in Nov/Dec 2014.
The photos I took then were not in focus. This year it has 4 spikes, including a terminal spike, but it has started a basal keiki, so the plant is OK.
It is a slender plant, growing in a 3.1/2" net pot. I have a seedpod (x Asctm christensonianum) in the lab, and should get the flasks this summer.
