When we think of vandaceous orchids, the natural tendency is to imagine really warm-growing and sun-loving species from the hottest parts of the African and Asian tropics. Although correct, did you know that there are numerous vandaceous species that grow at higher elevations?  Many of these species have very attractive, interesting and long-lasting flowers. For orchid growers in colder climates these species may be good substitutes for those who grow under cooler conditions or who grow their orchids on windowsills. Jason Fischer, well-known in Vanda (Neofinetia) falcata circles shares with us this beautiful plant and many of it's hybrids and Ken Jacobsen presents the genus Sarcochilus and how to grow them. Today's sarcos are, in a word, dazzling and if you master their simple requirements, incredible growers and bloomers.More interested in traditional vandaceous genera? Two of the most prominent vandaceous growers in the country - Robert Fuchs and Martin Motes - share their histories in growing and breeding these plants. Bob Fuchs takes us through development of the "dinner-plate" vandaceous and their smaller, brilliantly colored relatives that include former ascocentrums in their backgrounds and Martin Motes brings us up to speed on breeding trends using many of the other species in the genus.  How about the more exotic?  Perhaps Rhynchostylis, Aerides and Renantheras are more your speed.  This supplement covers those too.Don't believe you can grow vandaceous plants in your environment.  You don't want to miss two growers who share their inventiveness when it comes to these plants.
