This variety is typical in size and leave shape but is known for its variegated foliage, green with creamy yellow margins. It seems to have less scent also than the common variety of the species, but perhaps that is only my lack of ability to detect the scent.
It is native to Japan and is a part of the Vanda alliance though it is dwarfed by its larger cousins. It has also been increasingly used in hybridizing with other members of the Vanda alliance to produce small plants with delicately colored flowers.
So beautiful! And this plant also special with the variegated leaf. Thanks for sharing ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting and taking the time to view it, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI think that a bit you simplified Neofinetia history. There are many varieties which aren't hybrids for her.
ReplyDeleteI must here more often look.

Hi friend. Thanks for your visit. I meant only that the Japanese have crossed these themselves to produce many varieties - they are not really hybrids since it is just selective breeding.
ReplyDeleteIn both your Neo posts you mention not being able to detect their fragrance. Check at dusk; they really pump it out then! Four flowers or so will fill a whole room.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I'll have to check them next time they bloom, and perhaps that is the reason since I am rarely around at that time.
