Vanda Mimi Palmer

[Yug]

A must for every vanda grower - Vanda Mimi Palmer. Easy grower/bloomer. Great Scent! Subtle and dark if you like dark blooms.

Not sure why mine hasn't flower yet.
Btw, it is Papilionanda.

Thanks for the comments! I'm still stuck on the old names I learned first, I guess.

Sriram, you do not have to keep Mimi Palmer as wet as the other more conventionally semi-terete-leaved papilionandas, which are often top-dressed with sawdust when grown in pots. I have Mimi Palmer almost bare-rooted growing in a clay pot, exposed to the elements. So far roots are ok and has bloomed multiple times. You might want to give this a try.

Wow! That's too bad; I think you would really like this one. Your humidity level is probably the same as here, so it must just be more prevalent in your area.
