Angraecum leonis Bud-Watch
I purchased this orchid a few months ago from an ebay vendor and (per the usual with any vendor)when I received it I immediately repotted it into fresh media.
I have read online that most angraecum orchids sulk when repotted, but this little guy immediately started growing new roots and a spike. He has formed two buds and the inflorescence still seems to be "growing."
Anyone have any idea how many flowers are typical?

You're getting a lot of bang for your buck for a first bloom leonis, in my experience. One to two flowers is typical. Older plants produce more spikes and so more flowers.
The buds look great. Post pics when they're open!

Thanks! This is my first angraecum and so I was not sure what I should expect.
It seems that is has slightly green cast, but I read that it will turn a pristine white in a few days. I am told that these possess an exquisite evening and nighttime fragrance, but again this might take a few days.
As you can see, the flower is glorious and I am absolutely smitten! |
