Ascofinetia Moonlight Firefly

[greenbean]

So I couldn't wait for spring after all. Winter has been so mild here that I decided to risk it!

I fell in love with this hybrid mostly for the name, as it reminds me of my stay in Washington, D.C. and seeing fireflies for the first time. However, the pics of the flowers I found online aren't bad either, and it's a miniature with a supposedly wonderful fragrance. This particular plant came from a crossing of Ascofinetia Twinkle with Neofinetia falcata 'White Flamingo'. The Neo used in this remake is supposed to have particularly large flowers. I'll have to wait and see how it will influence the cross.

Sorry, no blooms yet, just a happy little plant in a 2-inch pot.



p.s. I'd appreciate any cultural tips, as my only other vandaceous orchid is Angraecum didieri, which I haven't had long.
