New Angraecum sesquipedlae bosseri

[Chris147]

Today I recieved my A. sesquipedale and I have to say that I love it. THis is by far the biggest orchid I own. It is in bud and I am happy to say that they made it through the journey okay. I got it from Ritter's Tropic 1 Orchids in Kissimmee Florida. I really reccommend you go there if you are in Florida. They have about 8-9 greenhouses full of orchids of all types. Most anything I want, she has it. Her prices are really good to. I gives her 5 out of 5 stars.
Anyways, Here are some pictures of my new baby.

Definitely a good size orchid and in bud to! It sounds like your excited by your purchase and in anticipation of the blooms. I know the feeling. The best of luck with your new friend! AL

I have never had an orchid shipped with a heat pack before. Therefore, I don't know how they work. There was a heat pack in the box, but it hadn't been taken out of the plastic bag. Last night I opened it to see if it had worked even though it was in the bag, but it hadn't. My new baby went two days in below freezing temperatures from Florida to Virginia. The heat pack didn't get activated. When I opened it last night it got warm and is still warm. Even though the heat pack wasn't working, the plant arrived in very good condition and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it. I will post pics when the buds open up. I can't wait.
