Vanda: everything you want to know

Oh, what an astounding mystical appearance a flower can have! The orchid family may be extensive and numerous, but Vanda is one of the most striking. Discovered in 1613, the Vanda plant originally grew on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, from the southern part of China to India. There, the orchid grew high in the trees of the jungle, which was possible because of its spongy aerial roots. To attract insects for pollination in such an inhospitable place, Vanda had to stand out, and with success. The flower comes in amazing rich colors, even blue, an uncommon color in the world of flowers.

The symbol for friendship

Vanda is the national flower of Singapore and is also often used in flower crowns in Hawaii. There are around 100 Vanda species known. The general symbolism of the orchid is pure friendship. The blue Vanda, the original color of this flower, stands for peace in India.
