My Aerides crispum / crispa in bloom

[Halloamey]

Hi, here are the photos of my Aerides crispum keikis blooming for the first time. Last year the mother plants bloomed for the first time in 7 years, this year they took a rest but the keikis flowered.

The individual spikes





5 more of these are in bloom, but they are very ungainly and potted in clay pots are growing in the jungle part of my greenhouse hehe.

I love the "jungle"! The ferns make it all just look amazing. Everything, your aerides included is just gorgeous!

Lovely Aerides and it has side sprays!! Is it heat tolerant?

[Halloamey]

Thanks everyone for the compliments !! Yes Mazlan it is heat tolerant, this summer we had 40 oC and last year 42 oC for a few weeks hehe, actually the rise in temperature triggers the blooms along with the dry rest.
