Aerangis fastuosa in bloom

[gmdiaz]

That is sooooo great! Gorgeous, huge bloom!

Does it have a fragrance at all that you can detect yet or is it going to be fragrant only at night when the moths are out?

I bought the fastuosa very recently and love it. I also brought home an articulata and a didierii (I took the tags off for watering and now I can't tell which tag goes to which, *sigh*, might need your help with that later. lol And also a biloba that I call my little Ginko.

These are just great orchids. . .and a must have for anyone crazy about mini orchids.

Perhaps this is old news, but didieri is easy to distinguish by its roots. They are typically fatter, and have a white-crusty appearance that always gives them away.

Good point, and also the leaf appearance is much different. I will post a picture of mine later here in this thread.
