Vanda coerulea

My new acquisition recently and cant take any credit, finally I managed to get one of the well tessellated coerulea I'm really enjoyed it with huge flower.

Fabulous Vanda!

Always a favourite.
But are you not a bit warm for this one Zain ? You may have to water with ice cubes in the watering can to see it flower again.

Vanda coerulea can grow in warm condition (not hot) and Zain has a cool room now.
Mine have no markings, hopefully I will be able to rebloom it when raining season come.

That is one big flower! Lovely Zain!

One often reads about particular species growing at a certain range of altitudes etc, and I have always wondered whether they were locally adapted: so if I find species X growing at 2000 meters altitude, and then take it up to 2500 meters - these both being in the reported range, will that moved plant continue to grow and thrive ? If so they really are adaptable.
Since they grow and thrive in our conditions, and between us we must cover a very large range, I think they are extremely adaptable.
Except for the ones we find difficult.... They are the ones which are not adaptable !

Agreed. I also always have a thought that those that grown from flask are more adaptable than those collected from the natural habitat.

It's a beauty, Zain.
