Aerides multiflorum flowering
This is a first-flowering Aerides multiflorum. I've had it for a few years, and it's just now big enough (happy enough?) to flower. Flowers aren't huge (less than an inch in diameter), but they're fragrant and produced in abundance (more than fifty on this spike--I gave up trying to count them after I reached fifty). Easy to grow--and for all of you growers who live in areas of the country where it gets cold in the winter, this species likes a very cool and dry winter rest. My plant sits alongside the cymbidiums during the winter, where the night temperatures stay between forty and fifty degrees, and I hardly ever water it between November and March (maybe once every six weeks if I can remember to do so).
