× Renantanda, abbreviated in trade journals Rntda, is an intergeneric hybrid between the orchid genera Renanthera and Vanda (Ren x V). Its parent plants are both endangered, and have separate breeding seasons, so this hybrid is incredibly rare. Because of that, it is highly marketable, and is collected by amateur and professional florists alike.
Types of Renantanda
The Lily Aow orchid is a hybrid of V. Pukele and Ren. Storiei. Engineered by Boon Kee AOW the orchid was named after his eldest daughter Lee Lee AOW.
