Vanda Sanderiana

This Philippine species ( known as Waling -Waling in the native tongue) is my absolutely favorite orchid .

Okay Allan, Now you're scaring me. You've become like George Castanza when he stopped having sex and got all intelligent and stuff. BoyGeorge.

Sorry for the sassy ... actually, I think this is a sweet and cheerful li'l orchid dotted with its merry freckles amidst its rich deep colour. Sarai

Oof. I guess I didn't get it right with the name "Waling waling" ... the freckles are supposed to be tears I suppose. But the tears are sprinkling about instead of falling down ... so they are rather cheerful tears I think. Sarai

Allan,
Beautiful. I'd kill it my mistake within a day, poor flower.

What do you grow in your greenhouses? I have a black thumb...can keep very little that doesn't have a pulse alive. I'm always interested in what people who can choose to grow. (I have a geranium, some ivy, some bamboo, a few african violets and about three miscellaneous flowering houseplants here...I killed the poinsettia)
