Vanda Pachara Delight updated

Here’s an updated picture taken 2 days ago. The inflorescence and flowers have become droopy after two nights of heavy rain so I am glad I took this photo when it was still in good condition. See the original blog entry here (click).

There are a couple more colorful vandas which I wouldn’t mind adding to the shade house. Since I keep mostly species orchids, my shade house is very green with just leaves most of the time. The colorful hybrids will add some much needed color. Though I have stopped collecting, I wouldn’t mind adding a couple more nice ones if the price is right. I would really like a true yellow hybrid vanda to be honest. Not pseudo or pretend yellows like salmon or green-yellow. :D

Here are some photos taken at a nursery in KL last year:


These are ascocendas and their hybrids. Yellow is one of my favorite colors on orchids, very striking and stands out from the sea of green. Whenever I visit a nursery, yellow orchids are the first to attract my attention.


This one is nice too, soft color.


But it isn’t nice enough for me to buy it. Now, if it was a true Vanda coerulea however, I might have considered splurging…
