    Smile New to Vandas and Growing them Outside

    Hello everyone I need some advice. I am wanting to grow my two first vandas outside and I have a few questions and pictures.
    I got a young vanda with a tag of: Ascda Kulwadee Fragrance No. 27. When it blooms, the flowers will be spotted and blue. I've been wanting this one for a long time.
    The other one is a mystery. I got it for 5 dollars at Kroger and its not in the best shape but I am hopefull I can make it healthy and bloom for me.

    By the way, I am from Georgia so our humidity is high. I know they must be watered/fertilized daily. They have been watered and misted everyday and fed once a week. As of right now they are indoors and when it warms up here more (crazy weather lately) I will move them in a hanged wooden basket with spanish moss. They will be hung on a tree beside out pool for extra humidity. Now here is my question of big concerned. Crown Rot. I feel weird leaving an vanda outside when its raining. I know it will love the rain but I'm afraid of it getting inside its crown. I grow Phalenopsis and I am absolutely paranoid of getting their crowns wet from watering. I never had a problem with it so far.

    I know they love light but how much is too much? I don't want to barbecue them :P
    Also it can get pretty dang hot here, as high as 95/100 in the dead summer.

    I really want this young sucker to bloom for me and to have for a long time. She was pricey. I'm also dying to know what color is the mystery one.

    All help and advice is appreciated.
