Aranda Peter Ewart
(Quote from http://www.beautifulorchids.com/) Parentage: Arachnis hookeriana var.luteola X Vanda Kapoho This free flowering hybrid bears sprays measuring 40 to 45 cm long with about 15 well-arranged flowers. Individual flowers are 6.5 cm across. The sepals and petals are dark empire yellow with streaks and spots of crimson lake, which intensify towards the tip; they are accompanied by an orchid-purple lip which has a white throat. This vigorous hybrid became a very popular cut flower because of its free-flowering nature.

The
pinnacle of the art of hybridization might very well be the impeccable
color, texture and form found in the Aranda orchid. A marriage of the
Arachnis and Vanda genera, Aranda combines the best characteristics of
both: fine blossom shape and color from Vanda, and fast growth from
Arachnis. Aranda blossoms will last up to two weeks, or even longer, with
proper care.
