Vanda rothschildiana 'Blue Ribbon' FCC/AOS

[Brutal_Dreamer]

This huge vanda is putting out spikes all over. Here are some shots of the longest three and some of the blooms that are opening. This monster vanda is now a permanent fixture in our greenhouse. It has been growing here in the same place for 16+ years now. Enjoy...

A bit longer than that. I have been growing orchids here in Arkansas for 16 years this month (yesterday, Aug 15.) . I started growing orchids when I still lived in Virginia in the early 90's. We brought this one here when we moved along with several others and some cattleyas.

Now that's a doozie!! I can see why that's a permanent fixture where it is. I wouldn't want to be carrying that all over the place, either! Beautiful, Bruce!

Nice Little Vanda if your a giant.......Bet it will spend the next 16yrs there too :-)

Wow. That's a beauty. Amazing. Must not think of the idea that my Vanda's will become that huge. Than I need to move.

My goodness, Bruce. They are so beautiful and HUGE.

I am still looking for my own rothchildiana.
