A friend in Florida showed two pictures of her flowering vandaceous orchids. Neither are in the hybrid registry. Both are from large nurseries in Thailand. I wondered if anyone plugged in to the nursery business or knowledgeable of Thai orchids knew the parentage of these crosses. V. Zengyo White - from Zengyo nurseries (no help from them, alas) Ascda. Puihima - originator unknown The Zengyo White is 6 inches across. The Ascda Puihima was purchased as a white flower which has steadily become more blue in succeding flowerings. Neither have been much out of bloom since she bought them 2 yrs ago from small vendors in Florida who have no idea what the backgrounds of the crosses are. I thought the darkening of the Ascda to be interesting, so I wanted to know what made up the cross. That these are so vigorous is also a plus. Any help?
