Aerides houlletiana x odorata First Bloom
Hello All,
This is a first bloom 'seedling' of Aerides houlletiana x odorata. The plant was part of an import I did last year, I can't remember where it came from but I think it was a Thai seller. The plant came mounted on a coconut husk, completely obscuring the husk with roots, and was almost 15 inches long, there is no evidence of previous flowerings which is a bit odd as most Aerides are prolific bloomers even when small.
The flowers are 1.25 inches across and they are very fragrant, sweet and lemony just like the odorata parent. There is another one of this hybrid in bloom as well but the blooms have already begun to fade before a picture could be taken.
