Angraecums in bloom
Here are my two of four Angraecums: magdalenae (in bloom) and sesquipedale (almost). I just love the scent which starts in the evening.
Thank you for looking.

Naoki, that is amazing! I have both plants and neither is near blooming size...I guess....no signs like you have going for you! Thanks for sharing. Now I know what the sesquipedale is suppose to look like when a spike develops. How long have you had these two? Is it the first bloom season for them? I'm so in awe!

Kiki, my sesquipedale did not bloom last year. The leaf span of this plant is approx. 1 1/2'. I think I have had it for 4 years now.

Okay, thanks for that info. Only two more years for me to wait. Piece of cake!

Wow! The King and Queen of Angraecum blooming together! What an accomplishment
What condition do you grow them in?

Nice Angraecoides, but I'm afraid I'd need a tank maybe 4 times the size of my present one to make the room. Think I'll just enjoy them in your photos. Nice job!
