    Question Ascda. Princess Mikassa Blue

    This is the 1st time this one blooms for me. I also have a question:
    I keep reading Ascocenda and then again Ascodenda. Which is correct?
    On Google you find both...

    Love this blue and especially the tessellations. It is Ascocenda = Ascocentrum x Vanda.

    yes. it is ascocenda as explained by Yew. ASCDA Princess Mikasa is a very reliable bloomer for me too. I have both the pink and blue forms. I find them lot more forgiving than vandas during winter and summers when the humidity plummets.
