    I like the 'wild' coerulea because it looks more elegant.

    I agree with you all but in term of color and tessellations I love the hybrids or selected clone like the photos I'm going to post soon.

    Thanks Betty I agree with you, I would be more happier if I can get wild flowers with strong tessellation on it.
    Thanks Yew.

    That is really nice, Zain. The wild Vanda coerulea is really elegant. I agree with Yew Sung.

    cheers,

    There's room for both in my collection . Chalk and cheese - variety is the spice of life. But it does annoy me when judges criticise primary hybrids from this species because the lateral petals are twisted out of the plane of the flower - as well-shown here. Such a natural feature - how can it downgrade the plant ?
