Angraecum sesquipedale
|
Our Madagascan beauty blooming in winter with three flowers. I've posted about this orchid rather frequently in my blog but it never fails to amaze me how unique this orchid is. My first post was on January 27, 2014. In my post on February 5, 2017, I went in depth measuring the spurs, which I found very interesting. The fact that there exist a specialist moth to pollinate this orchid, is fascinating!

| A) January 16, 2019. One flower in bloom, while two more buds pending. |
 |
| B) Indoors in this cold winter. |
 |
| C) A week later, all three flowers were blooming. |
 |
| D) A closer look of the three flowers. |
 |
| E) The flowers are crisp white with very long spurs. |
The flowers are rather delicate. The tips of the petals tend to brown rather quickly. We kept this orchid in the basement and try not to move it around too much as temperature change will affect these flowers.
