    From Malala in 2009.
    Largest leaf is 2 inches, 5 cm, flower is 1.25 inch 3 cm across
    nectary is 5 inches, 13 cm!

    According to the "Field Guide to the orchids of Madagascar"
    A. umbonata is a synonym of A. fuscata.

    Very nice Karen. Yours is about two weeks ahead of mine. How much light are you giving it?

    I definitively have to find one of those. One can never have too many mini angraecoids.

    It's pretty shady, less than Phalaenopsis light. Bright, but 100% reflected, nothing direct.
