Oh wow! That looks like it's going to be a showy couple of blooms. I'm anxious to see it! I'm not familiar with this particular Angraecum, but looks a lot like the sesquipedale in leaves and shape.

Hi kiki-do. The crestwood is a cross between Ang. veitchii and sesquipedale with eberneum in the vetchii.

Re: Your Angraecum crestwood in spike . . . .
Hi again ,
Same question --- What size POT is this Angraecum in ?
Photo's are deceiving ..... the plants look HUGE in some pics, but in reality they are smaller than one thinks ...
same with flower pics ....
Thanks.

The plant is in a 8" plastic pot. This pic was taken today and shows another months growth.

All my Angs are potted in a mix of medium bark,charcoal,perlite and granite chippings. I water them every week but not if they are still a little damp-- I leave them to dry out completely. Feeding is very sparse and not very often, maybe once every six weeks.The plant now measures 22" across and 18" high from the top of the compost. Hope this answers all of your questions except that in this part of the world we have to give them as much light as possible.
Regards
Ed

Just to simplyfy:-
eburneum x sequipidale = Vietchii
Vietchii x sequipidale = Crestwood
You're correct
