Aeridovanda Blue Spur
It may have been a great idea for a name for the cross of Aerides lawrenceae and Vanda coerulea, but my example of this grex was made using V.coerulea "rosea" - the pink form, hence it seems rather a silly name .- but it can't be registered again , unless /until "they" ( the great gods of taxonomy ) decide that V.coerulea rosea is a distinct and separate speciues - rather unlikely, that.
Plant looks like the Aerides parent, but flowers much bigger than any Aerides I have ever seen - 6-7 cm.
Pictured outside my greenhouse - Spring is here today, first cherry blossom opening and first Magnolias too - so I have been repotting on a bench outside the greenhouse.
Sorry about the quality of the pics -my PC is virused so badly that it its still unusable after reinstalling the OS, and is away getting professional attention, and I'm having to use a laptop with an older version of Photoshop software which can't handle my image files the way I'd like.
Seems easy , and flowers in due seasoin , i.e. about now, every year.
