V. Mever Velthius x V. Sra Kaew, V. Fuch's Delight, and a Dendrobium

Very beautiful. I'm so glad to see that semi-terete are back in favour again. The Thais are in the forefront of producing a lot of exciting new hybrids and using JVB and Velthuis and even the terete V Miss Joaquim. Here's hoping that the old proven studs V B P Mok, Ruby Prince, Emma van Deventer, Maurice Restrepo, Intan and others that have been 'put to pasture' come galloping back to do stud service with all new alluring strap leaved vandas and ascocendas that abound in Thailand. I may even be tempted to try seedlings and compots (yes, even at my age) if that happens.

Yew, I couldn't agree more. The Thai breeders have done much in bring back interests in semi-teretes. The first time I saw a TMA and a JVB I was hooked.

Thank you, Yew. Your posts always make for interesting reading. Have to look up a lot of the old vandas you mentioned.
