Aerangis verdickii growing in situ
 

Aerangis verdickii growing and flowering in natural woodland just outside Harare, Zimbabwe. The plants were growing quite high up in the tree, about 6 metres. Sorry I am not a professional photographer, so I was just snapping like crazy, hoping that at least one or two would be reasonable enough to post.
But the point I would like to make is this species is best grown mounted. I live in quite a dry environment here in Harare, we only get rain for 4 months in the year, so it would be better not to grow them too wet, allow them to dry between waters but maintain a reasonable good humidity.

What a great find!! Pics are excellent and thanks for the growing tips!

Beautiful! It's great to see them growing in their natural environment.

How fortunate to be near an orchid environment.

Good pics of the plant and flowers. A bit more of the surrounding environment would help me to understand conditions better. Thanks for this helpful post.
