Angraecum sesquipedale |
Once again, our orchid which is twelve years old, flowered in late December and early January, nicknamed the 'Star of Bethlehem'. This is the first time our orchid produced seven flowers. One inflourescence produced four and the other three. My first post of this orchid was in January 27, 2014. Then it only had one inflourescence with two flowers. I was impressed then, but look at it now!

Below is a series of pictures taken over time to show how the flowers developed from buds to flowers under the light in our basement. Sadly I could catcha picture with all seven flowers fully opened at the same time.
I hope when the opportunity arises, we can take our Angraecum sesquipedale for judging at the American Orchid Society, in Washington D.C. Timing is very important!
Until next time, have a great day everyone!
