Very nice, I also like the Aerides I have odorata and lawrenceae I hope will be open for a summer show in just over two weeks.

The colour of houilletianum is so different from any Aerides I have flowered ; I have this species in my collection, but not flowered yet ; I shall go and give it a good talking-to in the morning, see if I can persuade it to deliver.

Hi Geoff, it is quite different, I have it in a cross, 3 parts houll' & 1 part lawrenciae, its a giant houlletianum and near the same color. Some plants of houllet' are actually falcata. Noteably creamy white to pink in color, other features very close to houllet'. Light is the main thing to flowering, lots of without burning. I'm giving mine a stern talking to so they multi spike.
My Aerides only ever flower arround christmass and if I do not keep them cool they don't last
Superb Roy,thanks for sharing.
Beautiful blooms Roy. ! Besides it's flowers Aerides provide one of the sweetest scent.
All are beautiful
Thanks everyone for your comments. I have a real soft spot for these plants.
