Mature growth?
Very nice and good growing. Is it mounted? How do you care for it? Thanks.

Very lovely.
Goodness, a flock of birds in flight. I love these orchids, but have never managed to grow them well. This one
is superbly grown.
is superbly grown.
I bought this one from Cal-Orchid and it is/came potted in a bark mix. I have it hanging in the greenhouse and have not repotted it since I bought it a couple years ago. However, since then, it has put out many aerial roots that hang freely. When the roots are even 6 inches or so they are still unbendable and were unable to get them in the pot. You can see a couple in the photo.
However, a tiny tidbit I have observed regarding Aerangis. They ALL love to be mounted, and most must be mounted(at least in my growing conditions.) I have over 80 Aerangis plants (31 different species,) many imported from Africa, and they do MUCH better mounted. If one is sulking in a pot, by mounting it I usually get root growth very shortly thereafter.
It was Aergs. ellisii that got me hooked on this genera and this hybrid looks very much like ellisii and is more vigorous.

Erythrone had access to some amazing plants that came to Quebec from France. You should trade with her.
that's a wow!

Nice cross. I've always loved this genus too.
Even though Aerangis are mostly white flowers, seeing sprays of them in full bloom is quite a sight! And the fragrance is a wonderful bonus!
