angraecum leonis

[Mark_OK]

I picked up an angraecum at the Will Rogers Orchid Society Show last weekend. I was actually hoping to find the distichum that is on my wish list. I'm a little confused on the growth characteristics. My reference book say it is monopodial but then goes on to say the plants are short with 4 or

5 leaves. I'm a little confused. Is it going to grow like a phal and only retain 4 or 5 leaves at a time?

Thanks for your help.

Well, I found a new site.... I've never come across this page before, but perhaps I'll go back again.

Anyway,

has a picture of Angr. leonis with the growth habit in the background. Culture info as well as taxonomy (which looks correct, too) I have no idea whether this site just churns other people's info and pictures, but heck, its a place to start.

This site also has some good info.

'm going to put this plant on my wish list to go along with my: Ang didieri, distichum, scottianum and sesquipedale. I just wish this boat was bigger execpt when it comes to maintenence.

sesquipedale get as big as a house. You may want to drop it from your list

*G*! Substitute with Aerangis lueto-alba var. rhodosticta (Had to copy and paste that, LOL! K
