Vanda orchids always seemed like the tricky kind to me. Absolutely beautiful, obviously not compact, at the same time a bit awkward to grow and very confusing.
Here in the UK growing Vanda orchids doesn't seem like the obvious choice, the weather can be patchy and unpredictable. Full sun is hard to come by, nobody is going to hang a plant outside in the summer, and there is as I thought, too much possible complications.
But, obviously I was wrong I despise all this I bought a Vanda, a blue one, wonderful colour.
It grew well, bigger and bigger. I found a solution for growing, a glass juice jar and a sunny windowsill. But, truly you won't know if all of this is good enough till the plant pits out a flower spike, and so it did.
It's such a hefty and wonderful plant.

I am trying to find an Alma Wichman orchid. This was my grandmother's and aunt's name and we would be very interested in obtaining one. How is the best way to go about this? My email is tenngrandmag9@gmail.com. I would so appreciate any help you could give.
