Aerangis brachycarpa

[A. thom Aberdares]

When not in flower this species resembles A. confusa, though the leaves of A. brachycarpa seem to be more woody and a bit wider at the end. Here it gets a bit of early morning and late afternoon sunshine.

Does this plant grow in a mountain cloud forest? Are orchids common?

No, it doesn't. Occasionally a little morning fog, but that is not a requirement, I have seen this species doing fine in dry woodland.

Are orchids common? How do you mean?

[Waterdog111]

Very ambiguous question? I was wondering about that myself.

O sorry, just trying to get a feeling for the environment. In the high altitude cloud forests of the Andes everything is covered with orchids. Other environments like a full size rainforest they can be hard to find.
