Smile Angraecum Sesquipedale Photo Diary Buds to Blooming (Photo Heavy)

Hello everyone!!! i have finally finished this photo diary! It's been a long time and alot of work!!!!
It was Totally worth it though! I hope this helps people who are interested in Angraecum Sesquipedale it shows the entire blooming process from start to finish

I know its alot of photos....I strongly Encourage you use the Slideshow Feature you can set the speed at which the photos pass by!

I really hope you guys enjoy this i know i did Haha

The fragrance is Strong!!! not like any of the other 3 Angraecums I grow. A Strong lily of the valley scent with a touch of bleach !! When the fragrance first starts off its the best!!! when in full swing, at say midnight, i don't encourage direct sniffing let the scent waft to your nearby nose cuz it is STRONG!!!!!!! in a good way though.

Well at last here is the link to the diary.

That is so cool!!! Such a good idea documenting such a spectacular flower! I love how it starts opening a bright yellow/green, and turns such a pristine white. I cant wait to hear how long it lasts for. If you notice any change in the fragrance as time goes by, let us know! Great job!!

I think it lasted almost three weeks! It would've been longer I didn't forget to water it lol!!

The scent was consistent through out its duration. so far the scent on the angraecums has not been my favorite at all. The only angraecum fragrance I love is that of the distichum. I like the didieri too. I don't care too much for leonis or the sesquipedale
