Vanda denisoniana
This has turned out to be one of the few orchids that I've ever grown that can possibly come close to honestly being called ever-blooming. It produces a spike just about every two to three months between spring and late fall, and the flowers are very nicely fragrant and long lasting.

Interesting about the blooming. A few months ago here in Thailand a flower stand was selling a rather forlorn but in bloom Dennisoniana, the plant had 4 rather large yellow with white lip blooms for about a buck seventy-five U.S. I was glad that the flowers lasted a whole month after I bought it and the whole plant began to perk up as soon as I hung it up under the shade cloth with my other vandas. But even better was a few weeks ago it put out another bloom spike with what looks like another 9 blooms. I really am happy with this one.

Beautiful flowers! I love the bright color! Sounds like a winner, too, being fragrant and ever-blooming.

Some well -loved family members were Dennisons and I would dearly love a Vanda denisoniana. Can you please tell me where I can buy one. I live in New York State, USA Thank you.

Motes Orchids has them
V. denisoniana x same
RF Orchids and Seattle Orchids sometimes have them, but I don't see them now
RF Orchids Store

In my experience this species is not quite as easy to grow as are Vanda hybrids. My seedling is alive and growing but not thriving. |
