the leaves would be turning reddish if they were in too much light. do you fertilize? they may need a little more nitrogen. also, is it just the older leaves that are yellowing or are all of them doing it?

Angraecum and Aerangis are genus, not species.

The sesquipedale will be blooming size in probably 3-10 years if grown well.

I am currently growing all of the plants you've named.

It seems that you've found none of the Angraecoid flowers that you've seen to be to your liking. All of them too small including a couple you've named whose flowers are literally as large or larger than the entire plant. You clearly have interesting tastes in orchids.

I recommend some nice big flowered hybrid Cattleya types. Something like a Blc. Chunyea Goodlife might be just the ticket for you. Or consider some floofy hybrid laelias?

If you can't get access to lemur poo fertilizer you will probably never be truly happy with your Angs and should therefore send them to me.

I was waiting for MrBreeze to appear on this one :-)
Where does one get lemur poo in Oklahoma?

On a side note: My Ang. eburneum is @ 24" tall and 18" wide with 6-8 sets of leaves, bought as a seedling @ 2 years ago. How much longer? (You can have it after I see it bloom once, I need the space ;-) )

Always nice to hear from you, well done.

Hmmmmm....well I'm not really INTO Cattleya orchids. Not my taste or my style.

I do disagree totally regarding the Angraecum sesquipedale.
My 2 plants will bloom this December per the grower/nursery who sold me the plants...

Hey Bob - I'm currently looking for Angraecum germinyanum. Do you know where I can find one ?

This is a monster. Flowers are large and with a lovely night fragrance.

Aeranthes has good sized flowers. Not so good photo, have to look for a better one...it gives you an idea of size

Here is a definition of Floofy.

"A hybrid form of the words "Poofy" and "Fluffy." Like its derivative words, Floofy generally describes something --usually an inanimate object-- as being light and airy. It is commonly understood at something pleasant as it connotes thoughts of feathers, clouds, pillows, freshly washed bunny fur and other soft amiable objects."

Sadly, i have failed to grow to Angraecum and Aerangis orchids, they are among those that i rate as difficult.

Floofy...

Thank you for sharing those beautiful photos'. Absolutely spectacular !

patrickalan - if you thing the blooms on didieri are small, you relly won't like Angraecum germinyanum. The blooms are small and hang from underneath the plant. the plant is pendant and needs to be mounted or allowed to climb up a tree fern pole. I have three of them but, I'm very fond of Angs.

Smwboxer is correct - the germinyanum is very hard to contain and they need lots of room. I don't know if it could be grown in pot.

I don't think the blooms are small compared to the citrata. This is Ang. germinyanum 'Highjack' CCM/AOS

You would really hate the Ang. distichum if you dislike small blooms but the foliage is outstanding.

Thanks for the PICS Brooke, I do have a Ang. distichum. It has four leaves. Yeah, the flowers are small, but I really did, like you said, buy it for the foliage.

I have 2 Ang. sesquipedale, 3 Ang. longiscott, and a Ang. scottianum, so I thought a nice Ang. germinyanum would be a nice addition. I think i'm still gonna look for one somewhere....no one is selling this right now.
