VANDA
| Plants of the genus Vanda and related genera are endemic to southern and southeastern Asia and much of the East Indies. Most of them grow as a single stalk with new leaves growing from the top of the axis. Blooms appear on spikes that generally grow out of the central axis of the plant near the new growth. |
