Angraecum longicalcar in flower
 

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty excited about this one as I've been waiting a while to see this in bloom.
It took a while for me to track down a decent sized plant, and then I had to wait a couple of years for it to bloom.
Unfortunately the tip of the spike got damaged by a rogue snail (which crawled all the way into my house!) so I didn't get as many flowers on the spike as I would have liked, but just the same I am very happy!
I have self pollinated the blooms (as I don't have another plant to cross-pollinate it with) and have several capsules swelling up nicely.

Very nice! :cheer: Congratulations on the first bloom!

Damn snails!

Lovely blooms!

Bravo!

Good job, Jess! Beautiful flowers! Keep us updated on the seed pods. Are you going to flask them yourself or send to a lab?

Good job, have one of the same family almost popping. Been waiting for a few years for it to show it's true bloom...WTG :clap:

Great blooms, congratulations.

Super flowers! Congratulations

Thanks everyone! As for the seedpods I will try flasking them myself. I still get some issues with contamination at times, but I'm getting better at it. Cheers, Jess
