The flower, named " Vanda IOC ", descends from Vanda Miss Joaquim, the national flower.

Also included in this subtribe are some of the most economically important genera in the horticultural trade, such as Phalaenopsis and Vanda.

Vanda is a genus in the orchid family ( Orchidaceae ) which, although not large ( about fifty species ), is one of the most important florally.

The name " Vanda " is derived from the Sanskrit name for the species Vanda tessellata.

Many Vanda orchids ( especially Vanda coerulea ) are endangered, and have never been common because they are usually only infrequently encountered in habitat and grow only in disturbed forest areas with high light levels, and are severely threatened and vulnerable to habitat destruction.

The export of wild-collected specimens of the Blue Orchid ( Vanda coerulea ) and other wild Vandas is prohibited worldwide, as all orchids are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.

Vanda coerulea is one of the few botanical orchids which can produces varieties with blue flowers ( actually a very bluish purple ), a property much appreciated for producing interspecific and intergeneric hybrids.

Vanda dearei is one of the chief sources of yellow color in Vanda hybrids.

Disturbing or damaging the roots of large, mature Vandaceous orchid plants, and in particularly, Vanda and Aerides species can result in the plants failing to flower and going into decline for a season or more.

The key to successfully cultivating epiphytic Vanda species are consistent growth conditions.

The epiphytic Vanda species are not plants for beginning orchid enthusiasts and usually require a controlled growing environment to achieve some measure of success in cultivation.
