A tiny jewel - actually bloomed quite a few months ago - just haven't had time to post it:

That is a really cool flower - just waiting to spring open!

Thanks, Dave. The buds are almost as nice as the flowers.

WOW! such a tiny flower with diaphanous petals; you photographed and presented it well.
One can see the true form of Agraecum especially the uncoiling of the spur as you documented it.
Thanks for posting this....its very informative.

Size of a quarter. Wow! That is one long spur for such a little flower! I really love it! It is so perfect! Thanks for sharing your pictures! I adore the Angraecums so seeing your pictures was a real treat. : )

I love this!! Do you know any vendors that sell this?

I got mine from Botanica, Ltd., but I think they are out of them. I have a seed pod on a similar species, Ang. breve, but that, of course, will be a while.

Thanks for the info. Definitely keep us up to date on the seed pod! You can count me as a customer if you decide to sell any seedlings.
