Aerangis

The Aerangis is a very beautiful and distinct orchid, similar in appearance to the Vanda. Yet in terms of size, these plants tend to be rather compact to medium-sized.

The flowers of these orchids are also fantastic to look at. In fact, they are comparatively very large in size and are also usually white or yellow and star-shaped.

What also makes the flower unique is that the lip has a similar shape to the rest of the petals. The symmetry and rhythm of repetition in these plants makes them a delight to the eye. Moreover, the flower branches of this plant usually contain an entire cluster of flowers.

By the way, this orchid's size also makes it perfect for keeping in a terrarium. Check out this page to see more of these special and rare orchids.
