I took all the orchids back out to the shade house and gave them a good watering. Now, I'm exhausted (I have a cold). Mom did help out a lot, though so the work went by much quicker.

Here's another shot of V. Fuch's Delight x Charles Goodfellow. It's the biggest vanda I own and it is heavy! I believe I bought this from Goodwin's Orchids at a USF orchid show. All their vandas were huge! They cost $40-$50 but considering the size, I thought it was worth the price. Plus, I was still going through my "I want a yellow vanda" phase. Sadly, the other vanda I bought from them died after about six months. No idea why. But I'm blaming myself.

And here's the one I mentioned that was just opening the other day. This one hid pretty well but I rearranged all the blooming vandas now so I have a good look at them. It's probably good to rotate them anyway so they get their light requirements met. This is V. Banjong Sky Blue.
