Vanda Nonthaburi
Visitors are always amazed to see this stunning Vanda growing out among the Cymbidiums. The flowers are very large (nearly four inches across on these first blooms) and the color is unusual. The flower colors are watermelon-red over creamy-orange, finely speckled with red throughout. The two-tone labellum has a saturated watermelon-red lower half and yellow upper half with red stripes. This variety comes from the crossing of Vandas Josephine Van Brero and Gulf of Siam. Temperature Tolerant. June - July blooming.
