Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta
|
This orchid originates from the Central regions of Africa and came into our hands in 2014. I have written and shared photographs of our Aerangis luteo-alba var. rhodosticta in 2019, 2017, 2016 and 2015 (twice). In the previous posts, this orchid bloomed in mid September or early October. This post is earlier, as Arne calls it, this is bonus blooming. If we are fortunate, this Aerangis will flower again this September. Actually we saw the same situation in 2015.

| A) We have three flower spikes and approximately thirty five flowers. |
 |
| B) The bright orange in the center is the column. |
 |
| C) This orchid clings very tightly to the cork bark with its own roots. |
 |
| D) From these pictures, it is hard to see but the colour of the petals have a tinge of saffron-yellow and not entirely crisp white. Hence the name luteo alba. |
Well, that is my post for now.
Until my next post, stay safe and keep social distancing.
