Aerangis
punctata Barbara
Native to Madagascar.
Its common name is The Dotted Aerangis due to its spots on
both its leaves and roots. These dots make the roots among the most interesting
of all orchids! A true miniature, a mature plant has a leaf span of 2".
Though it is often stated that these plants bear a single flower, our
clone Barbara has had SEVEN per spike. The first blooming
may produce just one, but as the plant matures, they often produce multiple
flowers on multiple spikes. This is a true jewel of the orchid family.
This picture shows 'Barbara' with seven spikes and 22 flowers.
