I posted this in the ID and someone suggested I post it here. Does anyone know what it is called?
Here is the link and what people have said so far. Thanks

I answered this question on the Identification forum but I'd do so here as well. The plant is either Vanda rothschildianum or some very close hybrid look-alike. http://www.orchid-photographer.com/html_site/406.html will show you a similar picture.

Ok Todd - just call me stupid! I don't know a thing about orchids other than they are beautiful.

So, bear with me now --- If I were to label this particular photo, what exactly would I put?

Vanda rothschidianum -???

or as others said - Ascocenda Princess Mikassa

I have been looking all over for an Orchid called Vanda rothschidianum. I guess orchid identification is out of my relm of intelligence. Because I am totally confused.

Emailed the Indy Garden and they replied:


The purple orchid is an Ascocenda, a Vanda hybrid, and sent link to this web site:

http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/Ascocenda?page=3.

There are some beautiful ones there.

Looks like a vanda rothchildianum to me.How big (diameter) are the flowers?if they are about 3 or 4 inches across it is a vanda.

This plant is an ascocenda / vanda hybrid in blue..notice the spots..not veins like rothchildianum.
