Thought I'd post a picture of an Angraecum that opened for me on Christmas Day! Not quite sure why my buds are upside down but I'm okay with the weirdness!

Nice blooming. The reason the flowers are 'upside down' is because the superbum parent has non-resupinate flowers.

Actually, most orchids are resupinate or 'upside down'...they develop with the lip up, and then twist, so that most of the ones you see have lip down. So really, these flowers are non-resupinate. Who would have known!

I agree, it adds to the beauty!

Really beautiful. Interesting that this one is "non-resupinate". I've seen this in some other types of orchids, but not these.
