Vandaceous

Renanthera, Rhynchostylis, Aranda, Mokara, Kegawara all belong to the Vanda relatives and their hybrids. Between these, they form many hybrids like my favorites Ascocenda and Vandaenopsis. Most of these are monopodial in habit, with aerial roots appearing along the stem. Many of the orchids in these groups have nicknames like "Scorpion Orchids" or "Spider Orchids".
