Angraecum arachnites

[PeteM]

I joined a Facebook group ‘growing orchids and houseplants under artificial lights’ during COVID. Acquired this plant from another member in the group in May, 2021.

First bloom for me and i’m impressed with the size, good flower to leaf ratio.

enjoy.

Blc. King of Taiwan 'Splendiferous' AM/AOS (Blc. Bryce Canyon 'Splendiferous' AM/AOS x Blc. Purple Ruby) This is the name on the tag. However, this plant has caused a bit of controversy in one of my societies as it’s AOS award does not show up. I’ll have to go back and check the AOS website...

Thanks Patrick. Always a work in progress. I’ve laid most of the details out here: Evaporative Cooler for Basement Grow room

Very interesting, congrats! An additional info about genus: the rarest orchid species in the world is an angraecum, angraecum catedii. Only 12 individuals are living in the wild, noone in GH. Nobody knew anything about its pollinator, but there are few safty cameras around this little population for protection, and when records were rewieved, there was a little cricket on record, who walked flower by flower and and eat the honey of flowers.
