    Default Vandachostylis Thailand 'Somsri'

    Vandachostylis Thailand 'Somsri', as you can its just starting to open. Its fast becoming a favourite. The digital camera changed the color, its actually a deep lilac pink. The pics on the net are this 'blue' color also.

    Too bad it isn't actually that blue. Thanks for clarifying that.

    That is beautiful. I love the lighter petals against the slightly darker lip--all in the same shade. What a great plant.
