Oh, I am saving my pennies for a big pink vanda. I am content with my neo hybrids. Love to see you all get so excited!

That's funny, I'm about to kick my few Vandas to the curb to make more room for Neos, but I don't have any pink Vandas. In fact I only have one reliable bloomer among my Vandas, a Sansai Blue 'Acker's Pride'.

Then again, Neos are now officially Vandas, the taxonomists have declared.

That officially makes me a fan of them! I only have one vanda and I haven't been able to bloom it yet. Neos are definately on my list though!

That's interesting because my Setsuzan had lost all its tiger striping ove rthe winter and once I moved it into higher light, it started producing striping!

Hmmm, are you sure the winter light wasn't actually more intense, though of shorter daily duration. If it was in, for instance, a south-facing window, the lower angle of the sun during winter makes for more intense light than that same window in summer. Not saying that's what happened in your case, just hypothesizing...

According to the orchid digest article, it is called tuyuukeba if i am not mistaken...

I'm confused on this as well and made mention of it in another post (or maybe this one who knows!?) but it was never addressed. It probably got lost in the shuffle. Anyway, growing any tiger in high light will make the yellow less yellow and more towards white with higher light. This was the info i got from Dr Glenn. However, there are variegation types that supposedly is white and not tiger variegation. Perhaps this type is he type that will turn green?

It just doesn't add up. Variegation is enhanced in higher light as a result of increased activity. Or am I wrong in this? I have many non orchid plants that do this too and high light always turns them pale green in high light.

Yep, I'm sure because it was under lights during the winter.

I'm beginning to get a little confused about the lighting of different types of variegation!

I was told by Satomi that my Setsuzan needed LESS light to make the tiger striping come out. I gave it less light, nothing happened; when I gave it MORE light, the variegation make out.

As far as variegation that is NOT tiger stripe, it is to my understanding that if the variegation is cream or yellow, more light will make the variegation come out stronger. But if the variegation is white, more light may burn the leaves, so keep the light lower. That's as far as I understand.
