My new arrival - Ascocenda White Angel

[l1sav]

Well it has finally arrived

It has exceedingly long roots. Had to soak it for a while to make the roots pliable so it would fit into the vase. Took me a few attempts but got it eventually.

The flowers are really delicate, about 2cm across. Purple/blue lip. Very feint purple veins through the petals.

I am keeping it through the winter months on my kitchen window sill, but through the summer it will have to move as that window cops the sun big time.

This is my first one of this type of ascocenda. Its a bit of trial and error with regards to watering, im learning as im going along.

I can see a new bud on the next leaf stem up forming, so lets hope it sends a new spike up.
