Mystery Vanda - help with identification

14 years ago

Hello,

I've had this little vanda for a couple years and have no idea what it is called (not that it really matters). At one time or another I have seen this cross but can't remember the name. Anyways it is a very prolific bloomer with tiny orange/red flowers. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Kinsey

Beautiful bloomer. There was a very similar plant at our OS meeting last week. I'll have to check our webpage and see if it's mentioned/pictured.

It looks to me like it's from the Renanthera family. Beautiful!~Charm

Porphyrocoma pohliana is the one! The flowers on mine are only about 2 cm tall right now but they get to be about an inch/inch and a half. Thank you guys!

Not able to view photo, but does not seem to fit K. tubiflorum (best as K. delagoensis, but if you like Bryophyllum, then it is B. tubiflorum). Leaves should be in threes, or alternate, or rarely in pairs. Leaf is tubular, not petiolate, and with a groove above. Not likely to produce seeds, but does have plantlets which are near the leaf tips with at least one pair of tiny leaves and well developed aerial roots. Yale

Hi again Mark Ok.... I guess I will just have to harvest the seeds from all the current pods on these 2 plants, cuz I forgot which flowers I crossed!! I did mark the pots, but not the individual flowers, so I guess when I start my seeds it will be just be another mystery, unless they don't look BP at all! :/ as I had mentioned before, this is my 1st attempt at cross-pollination, so I guess I have to go by trial & error. Next time I will mark the flowers, so that I know for sure what I'm working with when I harvest. Thanks for your advice!

I don't think this is a Vanda either. I agree the flowers are very Renanthera like. The plant is nothing like my Renanthera, however. I wonder if its a cross-generic hybrid.

It is way too small to be a renathera which grow to 4-6 feet easy.

This looks like a plant you have had for a lon time so I would say Asctm. miniatum or a hybrid of it. Asctm. miniatum as teh name implies is a miniature.

Your plant size looks excellent for the species.
