Angraecum Lemforde White Beauty AM/AOS (magdalenae x sesquipedale)
 
This is one of the oldest plants I have and is the very first one I bought from the orchid show 13 years ago. It has been growing in this 1 gallon pot for the last 7 years. It just blooms this time of the year. Actualy, this is the first time it bloomed in July. Maybe because I repotted it in May.

YES! It is fragrant at night. :biggrin:

Nice. What are your growing conditions?

mollycart1 07-10-2011 10:53 PM

My growing condition..... Let's see.

It sits far end of the HID light. It gets watered every other week due the pot size ( It, however, has an upside down net pot inside this year so that the center of the pot will not get soggy ).

Low ~55-60F and High ~70-75F. The spikes do not seem to like to grow towards the light. It happens every year. They are kinda 'shy'. One year, I turned the plant around towards the light as I noticed the spikes. Both of them, then decided not to bloom.

Unlike my other orchids, this is an extremely low-maintenance plant.

A wonderful hybrid that is no longer commonly seen. The fragrance must be divine! :bowing

Your conditions... you grow it inside your house, not a greenhouse, correct? I have one in my greenhouse down here in SoCal (they are available at Norman's Orchids if anyone wants to buy one), and it is doing fine, but have only had it a couple of months.

Thanks,
Brian

Brian, Yes, I grow all plants under HID lights.

Really? I can think of at least three growers that have this plant in their inventory.

Nice plant. It almost looks like Ang. sororium, with its bare lower stem and full flowers. :)

WOW! Beautiful plant, Naoki
