Angraecum florulentumSo the fragrant saga continues… This is a lovely medium sized monopodial epiphyte from the Comoros where it grows on altitudes from 600 to 1000 meters. It smells kind of like Lilly of the Valley with a hint of jasmine in the mix too perhaps. The scent is quite strong in the evening.

Angraecum florulentumI bought this from Marita Åkesson three years ago and this is the best blooming I have ever had. I moved it up to Cattleya light last summer and look at the amount of flowers I got this year! I actually grow all my Africans a lot brighter than recommended with very positive results… I grow this one on the window sill in intermediary temps and (like I said) under quite a lot of light. It is obviously agreeing with this treatment, even though I have read that it grows pretty shady in nature.
