Talk about judging blooms in an honest way - years ago on the Orchidsource forum, there was the super knowledgeable, yet having flunked out in Charm School, Mr Cym. ( Andy Easton) I asked a few times to please explain a quick comment like "mulch it" and he did! It was educational for sure!

Gina; You _Are the Vanda Whisperer

Wish our Lowe's (in Memphis) would sell orchids.

LOL they were selling these for less than half price last season almost as soon as they went out of bloom. I got 2, colors unseen. The other one has a spike so it will be interesting to see that one's color.

@Gina1960

I just discovered I made a booboo on an earlier post.

The Vanda I have in Spike is:
Ascda. Pakchong Gold x V. sanderiana



Amazed how Fast the spikes grow + seeing ALL the buds.. This will be a first time bloomer for me

Man Glenn, that is a very nice flower!
You can certainly see the sanderiana influence.

Thanks Bill ! I bought it from RN Orchids in Miami... they sell on eBay, but also have a website.

BOTH Husband & Wife are ICU RN's They import from Thailand & grow on to blooming size. VERY Reasonable prices !
Friday I'm buying a V. Pachara 'Blue' to replace the Pachara 'Delight' I crown rotted from misting (know better now).

I took the liberty of splitting this thread just now! I wanted all of us to see and comment on @Australis Joshua's wonderful post, yet start up the new thread for July.
Please continue in July here and see Joshua's post!
