Orchid 1. Vanda Miss Joaquim var. Josephine

Mandai Orchid Gardens, Singapore

In 1982, John Laycock did the first repeat cross (between Vanda teres var. aurorea and Vanda hookerana var. alba), hoping that a white Joaquim would be obtained. The variety 'Josephine' is free-flowering
and has more of influence of Vanda teres in its shape. This flower was then named in 1983 after a grandniece of Agnes Joaquim.
