    I have several of this species but this particular plant seems quite a bit more robust than the others. It throws multiple spikes fairly reliably - I think it's sporting five or so now. Like most of my Aerangis I probably give it more light than I should. High humidity, warm temps.

    Awesome! I used to have one or two but they eventually died. Now they're probably impossible to find. :(

    It does, but not much from the Aerangis - they're pretty stingy in the smell department. The Cyrtorchis are amazingly fragrant,but the plant that really gets it going is Brassavola Jiminy Cricket (digbyana x nodosa I think, or vice-versa). There are two or three blooms currently open and at night it's hard to stay in the same room with them.

    Yeah ... pretty tough to find these days. I've been trying to set a capsule or two but they don't seem to take well to selfing. My plants are all related, I think, so I need to find an unrelated plant to outcross (or unrelated pollen).

    Nice! I got rid of mine last year and I am not sure that was a wise decision.

    We have one, (also a robust spiker so thats a plus) when it blooms again we should give it a shot!
