Vanda coerulea, commonly known as the blue orchid, blue vanda or autumn lady's tresses, is a species of orchid native to northeast India, with its range extending into China. Known as kwaklei in Manipuri and vandaar in Sanskrit, it bears bluish purple flowers that last considerably longer than those of most other orchids, with a single plant producing up to 20 to 30 flower spikes.
