This small species is from South Africa. The flowers are two to three inches on a plant that is only a little larger than that. It has a sweet fragrance and blooms in the summer or early autumn for me.

This is another micro-mini Angraecum, minuscule in comparison to the larger members of this genus. I posted a photo of a similar species (Angraecum breve, also from Madagascar) some time ago, but a close examination will show that both plant and flowers are different. And, yes, what you see of the plant is about all there is of it and the color, too, is accurate. When the flower opens the long spur also uncoils and is about 5-6 inches in length.

From Madagascar, this is one of the smaller Angraecums, but one which I have trouble managing. Its roots go everywhere, attaching to everything they touch. It bloomed for me for the first time last summer with two flowers, one considerably smaller than the other. It is very fragrant and has 6 cm flowers that have a 10 cm spur (not shown). orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2012/08/angraecum-didieri...

My Angraecum breve is in bloom again, this time with two flowers. I pollinated the single flower that bloomed last year and a seed pod developed and was on the plant for a year. I was very much afraid that would have weakened the plant and that it would not bloom at all this year, so the two flowers were a very pleasant surprise. The plant is from Madagascar and is one of the smallest in the genus. The plant, just visible in this photo, is an inch and a half in size, the flowers almost that large and the nectary or spur nearly six inches. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/02/angraecum-breve.html

This is a close-up of the flowers from the tiny little Angraecum I posted some time ago. At that time someone who knows better than I suggested that this plant was not Angraecum breve, but an unidentified species and that I would be better to label is with "cf. breve." I've done that with this picture as well. The species, whatever it is, is from Madagascar. The plant is only an inch across and the flowers dwarf the plant, especially the long spur or nectary. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/02/angraecum-breve.html

I've posted pictures of the flowers: these are the buds with the spurs or nectaries uncurling. I am completely charmed by this plant and this photo demonstrates why. Pleae note too that you can get some idea of the size fo the plant from the moss on which it is growing. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/02/angraecum-breve.html

This is the unopened flower bud of the little Angraecum I posted a few days ago. It is a delight to watch the nectary or spur uncoil to its full six inches as the flower develops.. You can also get some idea of the size of the plant when you compare it to the moss in which it is growing. This charming little species is from Madagascar. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/04/angraecum-urschia...

This tiny Angraecum is in bloom again with a single flower. Every time this blooms I find it amazing and charming. The plant (pictures at the link below) is less than an inch tall, the flowers are as large as the plant, but have a spur or nectary (also shown at the link below) that is six inches long. Most Angraecum are large plants with large flowers. This is the opposite. It is from Madagascar. orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/2013/04/angraecum-urschia...
