Aerangis
cryptodon
To be perfectly
honest, most plants labeled cryptodon are probably actually ellisii. Its
impossible to know until they bloom, too. That said, we acquired seedlings
labeled as cryptodon...our blooming plant shown is labeled cryptodon (but
is most likely ellisii). Confusing? You bet! Whichever one it really is,
theyre VERY similar. It is one of the larger growing aerangis (still
smallish by orchid standards). It will eventually outgrow the plaque its
on (and it will need to be re-plaqued; not unlike repotting), but this
is a great way to grow them. It produces long sprays lined with birds
in flight flowers with long arching nectaries. Its one more
beautiful aerangis to add to your orchid collection.
