Vanda tessellata f. semialba - a compact Vanda!!!  Width wise, anyway.  These are blooming size plants.
The semi-alba strain can be expected to produce flowers that have a yellow-green or chartreuse impression with a cotton-candy pink lip and a grape to lilac fragrance. 
 
I have had one of these bloom out completely alba, so there is possibility of both color forms in this batch of seedlings apparently.
 
I have these in plastic pots at the moment, with no media.  We find this an easy way to hold a little extra humidity around the roots while still giving them plenty of air.  You can also give them a few cedar shakes to give the roots something to cling to - they seem to approve of this.  In any case, water it like a vanda - frequently. 
 
This species is reportedly tolerant of cooler conditions than some vandas, but most folks are growing it in hot climates, so I think we can assume it is flexible on such matters.

You will get one of the plants shown, or one similar in size.  Plants are blooming size but are not currently in bloom, flower photo is shared for example only.  These are seedlings, so each will be unique.  This is a restock of some that I've had before, and while this group is younger (they are priced accordingly), they are big enough that they could to push out their first flowers next summer.

FLAT RATE SHIPPING - one price for as many plants as you want!  (lower 48 states only) 
All plants are wrapped carefully for shipping. Plant may be shipped bare root at my discretion.  Safe arrival of buds and flowers not guaranteed.
Sorry, we are not currently shipping to Alaska or Hawaii.

    Very nice plant. Well packed. More than I usually pay but it looks like it should be worth it. Shipped as stated in the ad.
