Amesiella philippinensis

[SlipperFan]

Nicely fragrant. My notes say: (monticola?)

So cute!

Beautiful! Dot, Amesiella monticola looks like a Amesiella philippinensis v. alba. I can't see the difference, except the lack of the yellow on the lip; but, there is supposed to be something that separates the two species. So yes, if the information I have is still current, you have an Amesiella monticola.

Monticola is a larger growing plant with larger flowers. It does not have the yellow in the lip like philippinense. It also comes from higher elevation so is a bit of a cool grower.

Nice. I killed mine!

Mine is also in spike in my orchid window. Very nice Dot. Do you have any difficulty maintaining humidity for these and other aerangis?

 

[Erythrone]

A cutie!

My Amesiella is spiking too. Supposed to be A. monticola... We will see!

Beautiful white!

What a snow-white flower with long spurs to boot! Excellent

No yellow on the lip... I guess I'd better take off the question mark!

Hmmm -- I'm growing it with the warmer growers. I guess I'll move it over to the cooler side of the greenhouse (about 3º F, is all. But it does seem to make a difference.) Maybe that will make it have more flowers next time.

My greenhouse seems to stay between 60 - 90% humidity, depending on time of day and whether I watered that day. I'm watering these hanging plants about 3x a week in the winter, more often in the summer. They seem to be fairly happy with this arrangement.

Very nice Dot. there is also a new mini species? cant think of the name at the mo. but love them all!

 

[cnycharles]

it's amazing that small plants (of many genera) can have such large flowers in comparison!

Very nice little one
Best regards, Gina

Looks like monticola to me, philippinensis isn't fragrant and like mentioned above, it has yellow marks on the lip. Anyway, your plant is very beautiful!
This is my philippinensis from earlier blooming.

Thanks, evergreen -- nice comparison.
