    Default Aeranthes Grandiose 'Shooting Star' AM/AOS

    Aeranthes Grandiose 'Shooting Star' AM/AOS
    One of my few exotics.
    Tough to photograph. The inflorescences are like long thin wires.

    Charles Dawrin was able to predict the size of the moth that pollinated the Angraecum sesquipedale 40 years before the moth was seen for the first time by scientists on Madagascar. It needs a really long proboscis to get to the nectar.

    That is beautiful! I recently purchased a seedling of Angraecum sesquipedale. I hope one day it flowers for me I was fascinated with the story of Darwins theory and the fact he was mocked for the idea of a moth with such a long proboscis only to be proved right after 40 years.
