which was awarded  Best in Show.

 

A lovely plant and in beautiful condition

A very well flowered and well grown Vanda

 

The roots are loslely contained in the vase in which a small amount of water may be kept.   This ensures that the humdity remains high around the roots.  This method is now ofter used to enable people to grow these lovely orchids in their homes.

These plants may often be seen at shows and they seem to do very well in these conditions.
