Nice. is that the growth habit, non-resupinate, or did you just photo it upside-down!?

 

[ericst11]

That is the way it blooms a lot of the Angraecum's flower that way the spur downward

I hadn't heard of this species before, so I had to look it up! It's synonymous with Ang. eburneum ssp. superbum

 

[ericst11]

I didn't know that thank you.

 

[goods]

No problem! The "newer" recognized name is just a little easier to spell/pronounce

 

[ericst11]

I agree but still its nice to know . A lot of plants have synonymous but the most common one is better to know..
Thanks again

 

[goods]

You're welcome. Happy to help!

I like the contrast between the lip and the rest of the flower.

 

[Ozpaph]

Its looks very nice.
