Angraecum ‘Lemford White Beauty’
Family: Orchidaceae (100-150 species)
Common Name(s):
Grown by: Alek Koomanoff, San Francisco

Angraecum - from Malay anggrek or angurek for all epiphytic orchids with aerial roots.

Native to Madagascar. Alek, an accomplished and professional nurseryman, recommends high light in a moist environment of 40-100°F 50-55° ideal in an uninsulated room with afternoon light. Alek startled us all by pulling the potted orchid in a 2” pot out of the seemingly crowded 5” pot in which he displayed it.
