Aerangis Modesta

I especially like Fred Hillerman’s description of the fragrance of this Aerangis “Half a dozen plants in bloom produce a truly overpowering spicy aroma. The flowers begin to be fragrant on the second night after opening, and by the following night they are in their full glory.” Not bad if you have an interest in fragrant orchids!!! They thrive when grown on plaques and though plaques require more consistent attention than potted plants, when in bloom, the arching spray from a mounted orchid is a graceful and beautiful sight! These grow to be fairly large (for an Aerangis) and are worth every inch of space. Hard to beat!

The NBS plant shown in Brenda’s hand is representative of what you’ll receive.
