Default Angraecum didieri

I got this Angraecum a couple years ago. The first spike stopped growing soon after it began. So when I spotted this years spike it was worried that it would stop to but to my surprise it honored me with this.

Very nice! I have two and normally they are in pretty-much non stop bloom. Right now they are recovering from transplanting. Mine get very strong light and high humidity. Normally I have several blooms at same time. Fragrance is so strong at night I can smell it upstairs (the tank is in basement.)

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

These are cool looking flowers very similar to the ghost. I don't think this is going to have any other flowers.

I'd like to try this one. Where did you get it, or is it currently available anywhere?
