Angraecum distichum

This species likes more light than you would think. I was growing at lower light and it would only give one or two flowers now and again. When I saw a photo of this species growing in full sun in Africa I upped the light and this year has given me about 10 flowers. :yippie:The flowers are just so cute and different.

This one blooms quite often for me, probably every couple of months or so, very fragrant for their size.

Mine is still a fairly small plant and so far tends to bloom about once a year. I understand they are fragrant, but I have yet to detect a fragrance on mine even though I have tried different times of the day and night. :what:

I've found out that their fragrant are somewhere between floral and vanilla. I've never really gotten "spicy" notes from the scent, unlike what I read on the internet.
