Vanda charlesworthii

A natural hybrid Vanda from Myanmar, described by Rolfe in 1894 as Vanda ×charlesworthii. It is usually reported as a cross between the Blue Vanda (V. coerulea) and V. bensonii, and would be expected to grow between those two: bright light, warm summers and a dry, cooler winter.
