• Angraecum Veitchii : a very rewarding orchid.
• Species such as " Angraecum sororium " are lithophytes, growing on rocks or very rocky soil.
• "Angraecum sesquipedale " ( Darwin's orchid ), one of over 900 orchids in Madagascar
• A famous example is a Madagascan orchid found by Darwin in 1862, called Angraecum sesquipedale; its nectar is in a tube 11 inches deep.
• ""'Angraecum atlanticum " "'is a species of comet orchid that can be found in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
• It was first described by the English botanist John Lindley as " Angraecum maculatum " in 1821 based on a specimen collected from South America.
• There was considerable controversy surrounding Darwin's prediction that a moth would be found in Madagascar with a long proboscis matching the nectary of " Angraecum sesquipedale ".
• Charles Darwin predicted the existence and proboscis length of this moth before its discovery based on his knowledge of the long-spurred Madagascan star orchid " Angraecum sesquipedale ".
• In the case of " Angraecum sesquipedale ", a species from Madagascar, on observing the 30 cm spur in the lip, Charles Darwin made the hypothesis that, since the nectar was at the bottom of the spur, a pollinator must exist with a tongue at least that long.
• Once your angraecum is big it is best to pot it in a heavy terracotta pot or place a brick in the bottom of the pot in order to ensure the plant does not get top heavy and risk snapping when blown over in the wind, especially since they flower during the windier times of the year.
• Pups ( keikis ) form at the base of the stem and can either be divided from the parent plant once they have at least three roots of their own or alternatively, left on the plant these will make a stunning specimen as when mature will produce blooms with the parent plant-many award winning angraecum veitchiis are grown as such.
