Jumellea arachnanthe

[Dorsetman]

The third species of this Angraecum related genus which I have flowered , and perhaps the first one just about worth showing - in terms of flower display for the plant size. I grow this in the darkest corner of my greenhouse - which it seems to like; I had thought so, but been in doubt , It will be joined by its near relatives now.
Flowers quite large for the genus - some 2 inches across, and lasting very well ; it was in our Show 3 weeks ago, and looks good for another show at Wisley this coming week-end.

Nicely grown, Geoff.

I can't remember ... are they fragrant?

I think allwhite flowers are fragrant - it goes with the territory.Maybe hybrids are an exception, or can be an exception, but no exceptions in species ?

I knew that was yours, Geoff, the minute I saw the image - well-done, indeed. What an exotic species jumellea is!
