A Miniature Species and a Friend

[Leisurely]

1. Aerangis citrata
2. V. Sanderiana var. alba 'Pauwela' x Neof. falcata 'White Flamingo'

The curled stem on plant 1 is a spike from last year that bloomed for several months, one flower at a time until it finally quit and made a keiki at the end. I curled it around and pinned the keiki to the sphagnum and it is forming roots. Nice to get free plants.

I posted a pic of the second plant in the fall but it is so much bigger and better this time that I am posting it again. It has fifteen three inch flowers that look like giant Neofinetias with a short spur. The lip is a pale pink. The flower cluster is larger than the plant itself and the perfume is fantastic. It blooms about three times per year.

:droo: What beauties! Excellent job blooming these two, they look incredible!

That's just wild how the Aerangis spike curved back around to "plant" it's keiki! It's like the plant knew just where it needed to go

Great culture, Jerry.

I really like your choice of plants but the Neo hybrid is something I would love to have. Where did you get it?

I purchased it from Exotic Orchids of Maui but it has been about three years. When I checked their website, I didn't find it listed.

Very nice Aerangis. Also a really fine display of the blossoms. At some point you might want to consider moving the rooted keiki to a seperate pot as these 'chids can get really large on their own.

Thats gorgeous.

Thanks Ross. As soon as the roots develop a little more I will move it to a slab.
