Aerides falcata
 

A species aerides with fragrant flowers.
:)

Nice flowers! What's the size (plant/flowers)?

The flower is about 3 cm wide and the plant is now 30cm tall.

Hi pheli :D

That's lovely! I have one that looks great, plenty of gorgeous strong roots and beautiful leaves...and no spikes! :(

How are you growing yours? Help me, please :pray:

Cp977, as your description, your falcata grows well in your condition.
If yours is a seedling and never bloomed in the past, it may not still reach mature size.
As a matter of fact, it should bloom every year if it is a mature plant.
Naturally, the spikes occur in early spring when the temperatures rise in spring and therefore i think this is the reason that initiate the spikes.
Hence, treat it as other vandas and provide it a dry period in winter would do good for it.

Superb photos and flowers.

Just beautiful........they look almost magical.

I agree with Bolero! Awesome photography! The blooms are fantastic! :D

Thanks for the advice :clap:
I'll keep doing what I'm doing and wait...wait...wait :shock:

11 days short of one year later...
 

mine is FINALLY blooming!!! They just started opening this morning...I'll post pics by tomorrow!

Pheli,
how long do the blooms on this one last usually?

About two weeks, Sue.
Mine bloomed in May this year. While I found it in bloom, some flowers had dropped.
