Vanda denisoniana x Trudelia pumila

Primary cross between vanda denisoniana and trudelia pumila should be on a smaller side. I am not sure if it will take denisoniana fragrance.



It is a blooming sized plant, but I might not see flowers for a while since the roots are very sparse. Hopefully plant will grow more roots.

Ascocenda rescue

Here is an ascocenda hybrid that I am trying to revive:



It has all brown and dried up roots, the leaves are a bit dehydrated too. I put it into vase just so I can see what is going on with those old brown roots and hoping that maybe some of them still have the life inside and might produce new growth.

It resides in the kitchen beside the sink, so I would fill up the vase often having it there and wouldn't forget about it.

We will see if this rescue operation will succeed.

Oh yeah, the cross is - Ascda. Suksamran Sunlight x Khun Nok, it should have orange flowers.

Vanda Somthawil

Vanda Somthawil is a primary hybrid between Vanda merrillii and Vanda denisoniana.



The flowers will have fragrance, I am really looking forward to get this one to bloom.
I potted it the same way as all my adult vandas, net pots with sphagnum at the top.

Vandachostylis Sri-Siam

This cute vandaceous is an intergeneric primary hybrid (is there such thing?) between Vanda tessellata and Rhynchostylis gigantea:





The roots were so much tangled into the plastic basket that I could not easily free them up without damaging. So I decided to keep the basket and just placed it into clay pot adding the sphagnum right inside the basket. Hope it will work.

Pictures of Vandachostylis Sri-Siam that I found on the web suggest that it should have nicely waxed dark red flowers with some fragrance.

Vanda coerulea x Christensonia vietnamica

The cross between Vanda coerulea and Christensonia vietnamica is not registered anywhere. I am not even sure how the flowers would look, but hoping for something interesting.



The plant itself is very small, but mature, since there is an old dried spike, although location of this old spike is strange - usually vanda spike appears between third and fourth leaves on one side from the top of the plant. This one sits between second and third leaves, but maybe it is normal for such a cross.

The roots are very sparse, so there will be some time before it re-establishes and will be ready to bloom for me.
Due to very small size this vandaceous is a candidate for a spot in my new orchidarium (when it will get here) on the top shelf close to lights which might be too bright for phals.
