Vanda Java Jive
Colorful seedlings from this outstanding cross between the fragrant, spotted, Vanda tricolor var. suavis (from Java and Bali) and the robust-growing and superbly colorful Vanda Manuel Torres. The vibrant seedlings bloom in a range of colors, pinks, magentas, violet-"blues", and all overlaid with spots and speckles! The above photo shows three siblings' flowers for example.

We grow these alongside the Cymbidiums where they thrive even when nighttime lows dip down to 32 degrees F! Note that at freezing temperatures or wet spells some leaf-spots are expected to occur on the leaves of these Vandas, so keep this in mind if you want to take steps to maintain pristine foliage.

Established blooming-size seedlings. 'Seedlings' are the offspring of pollination; as siblings they may be similar, yet each seedling is unique and no two seedlings are identical in color or shape. There is no way to tell before they blossom exactly which colors and display each seedling will express. Enjoy the surprise!

Temperature Tolerant. November - December blooming.

Vanda Paki
An outdoor-thriving and very free-blooming primary hybrid from the crossing of Vanda suavis and Vanda cristata. These blooms have the unusual, cinnabar-red lip markings of V. cristata and the delightful speckled pattern and rounded shapes of V. suavis.
Once they reach 'specimen' size, which usually means they plant is large enough to have branched foliage, they bloom for most of the year! Great outdoors with Cymbidiums or in with the Cattleyas.

Temperature Tolerant. May - July blooming.

Vanda Sumatra Sunspot
Eye-catching, outdoor Vanda seedlings with a golden tint! This hybrid combines some of the best qualities of its' parents: the golden hues and flat, round shape of Vanda Memoria Thianchai, and the contrasting speckled markings of the robust, outdoor-growing species, Vanda tricolor. Generally, these seedlings tend to have a yellow tint and amber speckling all over, both in a range of intensities, and with some degree of red to pink color on the lip. Some of these seedlings even have the fragrance of Vanda tricolor.
