Orchid of the day: Angraecum sesquipedale

Angraecum sesquipedale


Angraecum sesquipedale has been in our home for 13 years. The plant is two feet wide and almost as tall if the pot is excluded. Many of the lower leaves have fallen off, which is normal for this species. Keikis may grow from the lower part and that would make it look lush again.


A) The first snap shot of the developing flowers. Only one flower opening here.


B) The second photo showing the first flower almost fully opening while the other two buds remained closed.


C) The first flower fully opened in this photo.


D) Somewhere, somehow, we missed taking photos of the second and third flowers opening 'gradually'. Anyway, here all three flowers are completely opened! What a beautiful sight.
