    Dear all!

    I bought this plant some years ago as a Vanda tricolor var. suavis. Now it is flowering for the first time for me and I can see that it’s probably not tricolor var. suavis.

    Could it be a cross of luzonica x tricolor = Boschii or the cross Gilbert Triboulet x luzonica = Faustii it has some blue in it.
    Does anyone have an idea??

    Its not suavis as I know it. It may be a tricolor as there are so many. It does resemble the description I have read on V. Boschii though.

    V. Boschii generally has larger spots (I have one), sometimes even large colored areas. Although the petals twist back like V. tricolor, I suspect it has some Arachnis in it based on the spotting and shape of the blooms.
