Aerangis curnowiana
Not sure if this is the correct name. I've seen these called punctata as well. The plant is only 1.5 inches across and the flower is 4 inches long.

It looks more like punctata to me. The curnowiana I had had much different roots (easily distinguished from punctata roots). The foliage was different as well.
Either way, Aerangis punctata is a jewel to have in your collection to thoroughly enjoy!

Gorgeous white flower....I am amazed that the flower is way bigger than the plant.

Amazing plant, how do you grow it? That spur looks pinkish, if so it's amazing!

The mount is hanging off the edge of a cattleya's clay pot and it gets slightly less light than the cattleya. Temperatures in summer 85F during the day and 70F at nght; about 10F cooler in winter. Daily watering and "weekly weakly" fertilizing with a urea-free fertilizer.
