This was in bloom when I acquired it some 14 months ago. This is the first time it has bloomed in my care.

Congratulations on growing this to bloom so nicely. These Vanda blooms are fairly light colored and subtle as compared to most of the Vanda's I have seen. For this reason and because of that stunning lip, these flowers will definitely stand out as exceptional in my mind. AL

My pleasure to share this with you Al. Thank you for your generous remarks.
Actually, the unusual color is what caught my attention. Yes, so subtle, under certain lighting conditions it appears almost gray, like a mushroom brushed with very light violet. I could stare at it for a long time and never tire of its pastel shades.

It's very pretty. Especially the purple lip. Good job of getting it to rebloom.

Thanks Willeke. I like that pale violet lip too. It took quite sometime for it to rebloom. It must be the monsoon rains of June that did the trick. Do you grow vandas too?
