Aerangis punctata Aug/Sept 2014
 

Watching this one come along is one of the highlights of my summer.

I know... I should get out more.

Looks good

This plant is just perfect: leaves, roots, buds, flowers and smell. All these in some centimeters :)

I am in complete agreement. The universe managed to pack a giant personality into this tiny plant. :)

wow nice one! how Long did the flower last? I have two areangis citrata and I'm looking for the next candidate for my collection ;)

Better than 2 weeks, I'd estimate. Can't recall exactly when they dropped. You really can't go wrong with this little elf.

They aren't that easy to find in the US. Europe seems to be hogging most of them. :lol:

Ah yes...good things do come in small packages. I can see why you're so excited-I would be too!

Awesome, lovely to see a Madagascar species making it on OB. Well grown, thank you for sharing.

Nice one.

Ooo! Nice!

You are right, I live in Germany and areangis are easy to find here :)

Mine comes from Germany, in fact :)

Lovely! Nice foliage too! Another for the wish list!!

The blooms are beautiful! :)
Congratulations!

Thanks all!

Cool plant!

That's a wonderful plant you have. The leaves alone are reason enough to grow it, but the flowers are a bonus. The pictures of the blooms enlarging, along with the tightly curled nectary spur, is especially attractive.

Love those curly nectaries. That would make my summer too. I have a seedling from Andy's. It came with one healthy leaf with small roots. It now now has two leaves and a really cool large warty root. Hope it grows up to look like yours with those wonderful blooms.

Very nice- I love A. punctata. I just got one from Botanica Ltd., and it came to me with a bud. It popped open today and it's so pretty!

The buds look just like my Plectrelminthus. Nice!

Really pretty!
