The king of the Angraecums, this was originally sold to me in bloom labelled as veitchii (which I don't really like). The plant comes from two highly awarded parents and is absolutely stunning! It did get more flower damage over time.

interesting video, but I am surprised by how much light you give it. Mine turned yellow in cattleya light and now is good color growing with my phals in the greenhouse. Will start using RO on it now. Thanks for sharing the video

Thanks! I didn't realize it can take such cold temperatures, into the upper 30s. I've kept my seedling not below 60 F / 15.5C, with much warmer days, and it's kept growing strongly through the winter.

Great species and very attractive blooms. One of the best angraecoids to grow, in my opinion. I just wish the scent of the flowers didn't remind me of some sort of medicinal cream. Congratulations on your flowers.

I normally dont like white flowers, even though I have many myself (and well, when they bloom I kinda like them- sooo I guess I just imagine I dont like the white flowers )

Anyway- this one I love- so cute

Never had an Angraecum, but waiting for a flask with the small Angraecum didieri.

Your flowers are really nice, I like your videos aswell, thanks for sharing😊

I like the description, too...

Your bloom is absolutely lovely. Just curious...what are the names of the awarded parents? Mine is just an unnamed one...like most of my other orchids...not that I mind. Congratulations on yours!
