    Default Vanda wightii -- elusive Endemic Vanda

    Vanda wightii -- elusive Endemic Vanda. I have been searching for it almost 4 years and finally one of my friends gave me a cutting this season with spike. I look fwd to bloom it next season.

    Very nice! I love gift orchids. You don't really have to record where it came from because you always remember.

    Nice! This is one of the species I'm still trying to find a source for. Is it scented?
