Description
Vanda orchids bloom widely in hues of purple. The majority of vanda orchids found for sale are a bright lavender with blue undertones. Vanda orchids have a textured appearance on the petal that comes from a pale white pattern that is very crisp and appears almost geometric on some plants and softer on others.
The Orchidaceae are a diverse and widespread family of flowering plants, with blooms that are often colorful and often fragrant, commonly known as the orchid family.
Orchids are easily distinguished from other plants, as they share some very evident, shared derived characteristics, or "apomorphies". Among these are: bilateral symmetry of the flower (zygomorphism), many resupinate flowers, a nearly always highly modified petal (labellum), fused stamens and carpels, and extremely small seeds.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph. You can see more of my work on my homepage in the various galleries I have created. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
