| Pictures would be most helpful. Or, if you can't provide pix, can you describe the flower structure? How many petals, arranged in what manner, borne singly or in bunches, flower diameter and so forth? Vanda orchids have foliage that's pretty distinctive, dark green, leathery, smooth and rather two-dimensionally stacked in arrangement, and I can't think of anything that resembles this off the top of my head. |
