Vanda species of the week
This week we focus on Vanda coerulea and it’s different color forms. First there is the normal blue form.
Vanda coerulea
To make sure that it is a true coerulea, check the side-lobes. If they are pointy it is the species, if they are blunt it is a hybrid.

The pink form is called Vanda coerulea f. delicata.

Then there is a form that is between the blue and the white called Vanda coerulea f. rogersii. Photo by Philippe Christophe

The very rare white form is called Vanda coerulea f. luwangalba.

Vanda barnesii
Today I finally got my seedlings from Carson Barnes. Many thanks Carson for all you work and care. I give a long finger to the Swedish post office customs, that wrongfully held the plants for two weeks. As a relief all the plants looks fine!
