It is now in spike again, 2 spikes. Flowers are very large, waxy and has very odd nocturnal fragrance. Here are a couple of pics from last year.

I like Angraecams for the huge nectary and pollination story. I wish they were red and green instead of white. But then I guess the moths wouldn't care for them then.

I agree, I like the evolution factor of these guys very much, very interesting! I thought I maybe saw one in St. Vincent, but that pic didn't make the cut.

Beautiful photos, as always Peter.

That first photo is very good Peter, it makes it look almost 3D :clap2:

Thanks for the nice comments! I also like the long dangley nectaries.

I also just noticed that the roots are coming out of a few holes and over the side. That will be hard to repot. :shock:

Yep, it sure will be a pain to repot that plant and I won't be looking forward to doing it.

I’ve never seen an angraecoid I didn’t like and yours is no exception. You should try some of the minis, if you haven’t already… Many have flowers about the same size as the plant, like Angraecum elephantinum and didieri. And, of course, there’s the scent…

Thanks! I love my sesquipedale but I just don't have room for another. :) Need more room for my slippers. :lol:

What's the very odd fragrance like? just curious...

I can't really explain and describe the fragrance, it's just a very odd scent for me.

I have a lot of angraecoids, but not a sesquipedale, simply because they are sooo huge. My largest is Lemforde White Beauty—sesq. X magdalenae. Most of the rest are true miniatures, which take no room at all. The Aerangis fastuosa is blooming size with about a 3” leaf span; its two blossoms filled my entire apartment with scent in the evening. I’d say I’m about 50/50 in my love of paphs and night-fragrant whites. Everyone has their thing… I understand you wanting to save room, though. I imagine it’s as much a question of saving energy for your true favorites as it is actual space.

When you work up to the task of repotting it, you might think about putting it in a teak slat basket with a CHC mixture. If it (hopefully) survives the trauma, you won’t have to worry about disturbing its roots again—just move it up to the next size.
