Vanda

Vanda orchids (Vanda spp.) are a genus of orchids known for their large, showy, and fragrant flowers. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and the Pacific, where they grow as epiphytes on trees or lithophytes on rocks, attaching their roots to surfaces to gather moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. These orchids are monopodial, meaning they grow vertically along a central stem, producing leaves and roots alternately on either side of the stem.
