This vanda orchid that I moved to a new spot a couple months ago is blooming! 🥰
I'm not sure what kind it is, but maybe it's in the vicinity of a vanda tricolor or vanda luzonica? It's very cheery!
I'm happy that it seems to like its new spot up in the crook of a very tall hibiscus, with roots covered partially in some moss and "canopy mix" (ie, whatever fell from higher in the canopy). For epiphytic orchids, their roots want a good mix of air, water, and shade/cover (without being totally covered).
