A classic

Oh, what a beauty.

Yes, and is your tongue long enough to reach the nectar?

 

[SlipperFan]

Looks like it has at least two spikes. The fragrance must be wonderful at night.

Nope if my tongue was that long I would be flying around on madagascar licking angraecums - yummy! ;-)

In fact the fragrance is too heavy - I left the plant half an hour in the small office where I take my pictures. Couldn't stay in there!!

yours seems to be very 'bloomy', several stalks, nice strong, large flowers. Must be a very adult plant. Did you buy it in France?
Mine had 2 stalks with 1 flower each, rather small this time.

If you had a tongue that long you could get a job in the adult film industry! oke:

Detour -
It's been SOOO long since I've had to leave a room because the scent was overpowering! I didn't think I had big rooms ........
