Thanks Terryros for the "Star of Bethlehem" info - didn't know that and it makes sense. Also thanks for the mention of "Orchids Limited" - they have a very nice collection of Angraecums. Upon seeing their site, I was tempted to get A. sesquepedale - THE Darwin orchid original, like you say. But since it looks so much like mine, I'll hold out till summer (safer shipping) to get one of their A. ellisii - another super unique FRAGRANT plant. They want $100 for a plant - yikes! - I have never spent that much for an orchid but now am hooked on Angraecums - their flowers last (and continue to be fragrant) 2-3 months!!! How cool is that? And the whole Charles Darwin connection....
