Default cultural information on vanda tricolor var. suavis

I've been thinking about adding the species Vanda tricolor variety
suavis (or is it now just Vanda suavis?) to my collection and would
appreciate any cultural information anyone can share regarding its
cultural requirement. Specifically, can it possibly be grown in a pot
rather than an open basket (if anyone has had success growing this
species in a pot, I would very much like to hear about your experiences
doing so) and will it require the same amount of intense light and
consistently warm temperatures that Euanthe sanderiana and its hybrids
require? Also (and I know this isn't a cultural question, but I'm
curious anyway), I've read that this Vanda's flowers are fragrant. Is
that true (again, would like to hear from someone who's had first-hand
experience with the species)? How often does it flower? Thank you in
advance for your time!
