Vanda flower color
Vanda Jones ex R. Br.
Vanda flower color is a key cultivar descriptor described using the RHS scale. The trait includes the ground color, the presence of spots, speckles, or tessellation, the intensity of which depends on light quality and the stage of bud opening.
In the reference 11 varieties crop Vanda, where this is mentioned in the description.
To describe Vanda flower color, standardized international RHS color charts are used, allowing for the precise recording of shades on sepals, petals, and the lip. The coloration is characterized by a wide palette, including blue, light blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, brown, and white tones, often complemented by complex patterns such as veining or spotting.
The trait manifests dynamically: color intensity increases as the bud opens and the flower reaches maturity. The stability of the color pattern serves as an important selection indicator for registered hybrids. For full development of species or varietal coloration, the light regime is critical, as a lack of light leads to a loss of saturation or the manifestation of shades atypical for the genotype.
