Wow, that's just gorgeous!

Tadd - next week's meeting w/ Tom is on Angraecum not Bulbos, which is good, because I am much more interested in the former. I've never smelled one. So, maybe I'll get my chance!!

I loved the scene in deep jungle with the moth. That was really unbelievable!!!!

Beautiful and so many flowers! Heather my Ang. sesquipedale is in bud with 2 spikes. The flowers are large with very long nectaries and their scent as you know is nocturnal for the elusive rare nocturnal moths with long tongues to pollinate. I cannot describe the scent but to me it is neither pleasant nor unpleasant.
