Angraecum Lemforde 'White Beauty'

Angraecum Lemforde 'White Beauty' is a sophisticated hybrid derived from Angraecum magdalenae and Angraecum sesquipedale, showcasing the refined characteristics of both species. This orchid features pristine white flowers with a graceful form and a subtle, enchanting fragrance that appeals to discerning collectors. Its growth habit reflects the elegance of its lineage, requiring precise care in terms of humidity, light, and temperature to thrive. Ideal for expert growers, this hybrid offers a rewarding cultivation experience and a striking addition to any advanced orchid collection.

 

Interestingly, Angraecum sesquipedale is part of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. It is noteworthy for its long spur and its association with the naturalist Charles Darwin, who surmised that the flower was pollinated by a then undiscovered moth with a proboscis whose length was unprecedented at the time. Darwin's prediction went unverified for 21 years after his death, until just such a moth was discovered and his conjecture vindicated.
