This is the "Darwin's Orchids", so named because when Darwin saw the flower at Kew Gardens in the 1880s he developed the theory that there must be a moth with a proboscis ( or tongue) long enough to reach the end of the 14" nectary. Fourty years later the moth was discovered and given the species name " praedicta" . This is the December blooming type, which is called " Star of Bethlehem'. Elegant species from Madagascar. Massive waxy white blooms right around Christmas. Beautiful fragrant at night. A must for any serious Orchid Species Collection. Our client Mr. Robert Bedard has informed us that he has won tropies for " Best Commercial Culture " , " Best Commerical Botanical " and " Best Commercial First -bloom Seedling " at 2005 Santa Cruz Orchid Society Spring Orchid Show. This judges at the show also award this strain of Angcm. sesquipedale Blue Ribbon for the Best Botanical in the class. Look for many quality award from this cross.
