    Default Vanda Cindy Banks 'Bill's Choice' AM/AOS

    I just received this Vanda Friday from a seller in Florida. Love all the purple spots on the yellow background and the bright purple lip. Hope you all enjoy.

    Ooh, Al, that's a nice one. You got one in bloom to show off for your others and make them want to reciprocate, right?

    Patty, your absolutely right. The others must learn what it is to be a true beauty and prima dona don't you think? AL

    Shower the new one with so much attention that the others get jealous and decide they want to show off, too!

    Yes Patty I intend to do just that and treat this new Vanda like royalty. It will start each morning with breakfast in bed (or in a basket in this case). I am watering it X2 each day (good long soaks). There will be a special dinner each week, maybe a seafood medley (from a plastic jug), or some highly nutritious La fertilizer du Michigan State University. If this doesn't get the other orchids 'blooming mad' I don't know what will. AL
