Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: I grow it mounted, at intermediate temperatures in the winter and warmer in the summer.
Comments: Parent plant: Miniature plant. This is the Comoro Islands variety of this species. The flowers are about 2 inches wide with a long, curved nectary. Like most angraecums, it has a lovely fragrance at night and smells to me like Lily of the Valley.
