Vanda orchid from my mom's garden... I dont know what specie this one is. (Can anyone tell me?)

From wikipedia:

The name "Vanda" is derived from the Sanskrit name for the species Vanda tessellata.

These mostly epiphytic, but sometimes lithophytic or terrestrial orchids are distributed in India, Himalaya, SE Asia, Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea, southern China and northern Australia.

kun matak-an ka na sa sunset kag portraits, you can always turn to flowers :)

Nicely captured migs, nami pa gid contrast sang orchid sa green leaves on the background because of the good DOF. Great composition too

Wala ka kalagaw sa NDMU?
