Balinese White Vanda Orchid

Thank you so much for your time that you have given to help educate me. I really appreciate it Carson!!!!

Yes the tip of the lip can be pale. The three ridges, darker sides of midlobe are characteristic. There's some debate about whether suavis is a species in itself, not a variety of tricolor. Britain's Royal Horticultural Society is supposed to be the final authority, they say suavis is a variety, not a species. Typical tricolor has yellow to gold background color, not white. THe listing on orchidspecies.com, above, is therefore incorrect in saying the species name is suavis, and also in listing it as found in Laos. It's only natural to Bali and Java, and nearby islands of Indonesia.

Thanks Carson, I noticed that the lip of the speciman in my photos is whitish pink and the tricolor suavis has an all purple lip. They are still likely to be the same species but I was thinking that they might be different cultivars.

Also found in the wild in Java
