Angreceum Lemforde White Beauty

9 years ago

Apparently quite a famous hybrid, here is what one source had to say about it:

We have a King (Angcm. sesquipedale) and we have a Queen (Angcm. magdalenae). And what that produces is Angraecum Lemforde White Beauty. A remarkable hybrid that very much resembles the Queen (although slightly larger).

Very fragrant, took it to a meeting and it got bounced around in my car. This is my first bloom, will have to wait for the next bloom to get a perfect flower .

It inherited the long nectar spur from sesquipedale. Fragrant, by the way, only in the evening.

That nectar spur is amazingly long.
I'm always amazed, at the different times of day, when flower fragrances are the strongest.
Looking forward to the "perfect bloom".

This is a lovely hybrid. I am sorry your flower was damaged. I purchased a "blooming sized" one about 2 years ago. No blooms to date. I just love the term blooming size. I think it means the plant may bloom at this size if your culture is perfect and if the stars align. And I accept that. However, you does appear to be significantly larger than mine. So I am wondering, how tall is yours and how are you growing it? I have heard a lot of variability on the amount of light this angraecum prefers.
