    Default Angraecum Vetchii with 20cm long spur

    First blooming after four years of growing. The spur is almost 20cm long. My greenhouse is full of its nice fragrance at night!

    was it a seedling when you got it?
    looks a lot like the sesquipedale [if i spelled it right]. I have an A eburneum on my windowsill. seedling - seems to grow slowly

    I agonized over Christmas as I have wanted a Sesquipedale since I began collecting these things. I hear your variety blooms twice a year...lucky you! I'm like jealous right now and drooling all over the monitor!! And you grew this that long...great job!

    Thanks every one!
    Hi Stepix,It was a seedling without tag when I got it. It do really grow slowly. I guess it is that hybrid because its spur is lifting instead of dropping down though it is so long.

    Hi Margo,I think I am able to track and get it even if it was in US just by following its fragrance at night! But I will lost the target in day time for it being smellless at that time!LOL
