This collector had disembarked from his ship into a new area where there was a village near the shore, and the story goes that the people of the village weren't happy that a foreigner was in their midst. A headman stepped in and had the collector stay in a tree house overnight for his safety. During the night there was a violent earthquake and tsunami that destroyed the village. However, the collector remained safe in the tree house and when morning broke, there through the damaged roof of the tree house he could see dozens of a beautiful large flowered pink, brown and purple Vandas in flower. He collected some of these plants and had them sent back to St. Albans. Once it had flowered the plant was named after Sander. Sander was known as the Orchid King in Victorian England. He had nurseries in England and in Belgium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePot size: Large plant in 4\" basket \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFragrant: Yes\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eColor(s): 4.5\" two-tone pink \u0026amp; maroon, with red spots\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBloom: Blooming size, previously bloomed\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBloom Season: Spring, Summer, Winter\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant tall: 20\"– 32\" not including roots\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemperature: Intermediate-Warm \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight Level: Medium-High light\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHumidity: High (70%–80%)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater: Keep moist and can be dry out a little between watering\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFertilizer: Heavy feeder.
