    Just lovely. It looks really happy and producing seed pods. I have a plant that was purchased as alpina, If it ever blooms in hot, humid Florida and I can confirm it is alpina I will be happy.

    It is unusual to see the blooms come from all over the actual plant instead from a spike on a vanda. Very different. Love the dark green blooms too.

    cheers,

    Absolutely stunning. It looks like V. cristata's cousin.

    Great species! and thank you for posting it.
    I love this group of Vanda(AKA Trudelia). I grow V. cristata and V. pumila but I haven't had a chance to get V. alpina here yet. All three species have very short spikes and only carry very few flowers per spike.
