Angraecum ID?
A friend gave me two of this plant but no tag
 Last year, the other tried to bloom but the spike aborted. This year, flowers! Anyone know what it is? Likely it's a species... And I can probably get better pictures if it would help. Oh, the plant is BIG. Probably the leafspan is 2 feet or more. Thanks! Jerry |

Angraecum ID?
Looks like Angcm eburneum superbum to me. These usually get very large. I
posted a picture of this several days ago. I might help. Gary "Jerry Hoffmeister" wrote in message . ..

Yup, that looks right. I think my flowers also aren't all the way open yet

Angraecum ID? & a question.
Glad you posted this Jerry, as it made me look at my data base list of
Angcm's & old pics. I know I lost my giant Angcm. eburneum subsp. superbum to a bad case of scale & it had huge thick leaves. Anyway here is a fantastic web site:- www.angraecum.org My question is:- Is there a difference between ssp & subsp & if so what does it mean? Cheers Wendy "Jerry Hoffmeister" wrote in message . ..

well looking at pictures, it's not straight eburneum IMO but superbum.

Angraecum ID? & a question.
Yes, I know what you mean Jerry, the same thing happened to me with the
various names? Thanks for the offer by the way. I have to check my tags & straighten out my data base. Upon further study, I noticed that the various subsp. of eburneum pertain to the area of their habitat. Also two of the flowers are identical in shape but one is larger? I need to read up some more.

Angraecum ID?
interesting... I think it's more likely superbum but I will have to bring
the plant up and compare once the flowers are fully open (and likely they are now but I haven't been back there to look...). Thanks Ray!

Angraecum ID?
Hell, I'm no expert. I just scanned through Jay's pics until I saw one that
looked similar. I never even got to superbum! Looking at the photo's, I would guess that the spur length difference might be a good indicator. Do the descriptions help: Ang. giryamae: Said to be a subspecies of Angraecum eburneum, I will separate it for now. Differs by having flowers with the lip slightly wider than long, obscurely 3-lobed in the upper part and has a spur that is less than 2.4" [6 cm] long and occurs only in Kenya and Tanzania. Ang. superbum: A hot growing epiphyte or occasional lithophyte that occurs in hot damp tropical woods on the east side of Madagascar as well as eastern Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands at elevations below 400 meters. This orchid needs Cattleya like light levels to stimulate blooming which occurs in the fall and early winter on axillary, 4' [120 cm] long, stout, densly many flowered racemes that can be as long or longer than the leaves carrying many nocturnal, long-lasting, waxy, fragrant flowers that occur after heavy summer fertilizing. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies.

Angraecum ID?
Yeah, I was looking at Jay's pix too. I didn't realize there were so many
angraecums! I was just down to the GH and didn't look closely at the spur length. hopefully, over the weekend I'll remember to bring it up or a laptop w/ wireless down. Thanks again Ray...
