Default Angraecum sesquipedale blooming

Two spikes and four buds produced this year on this easy-growing species. The waxy blooms are very fragrant during the evening, but to be honest, it's not really a fragrance that I enjoy. Kind of reminds me of either shampoo or soap--not necessarily a bad smell, just not all that great either. The fragrance of my Angraecum eburneum's flowers is much nicer. Still, sesquipedale is not a temperamental plant, blooms reliably every winter, and (barring the occasional foraging grasshopper in the summer) isn't bothered by pests and diseases.

excellent i love this species but i don't have it yet. Hopefully that will change soon. The flowers on these plants are truly amazing. I saw a big one at an orchid show recently and i couldn't take my eyes off it.

Beautiful!
and overall a great looking plant.
very encouraging to hear it's not that temperamental.

according to the shop where i got it, mine's blooming size in a year. then again, i recall them saying that about their sesquipedales for...about a year now

Oh that's sooooo exciting! How long have you had this orchid? What type of lighting? What care do you give it? Sorry for so many questions, but she is one of my favorites and I have a young one, but it actually looks almost the size of yours. A gorgeous orchid! Thanks for sharing....kiki

If you don't mind sharing I would also be interested in your growing conditions for this plant. Mine is blooming size and has put out three new leaves in the last 6 months but no sign of a spike. Obviously I'm not doing something I should be.
Thanks,
Al
