Very nice. Orchid growing must be easy in zone 6a. Re. the name. some searches do not work

where there are accents over letters. In this case over the letter o. Wonder what this does to the pronunciation? Apart from the accents, the RHS has the spelling as Lemforde.

Beautiful bloom! I have lemforde crossed to magdalene and was hoping it would bloom this season.....so far no sign of it spiking so I'll content myself with seeing photos like yours.

I was given one as a gift last year. It has not flowered. It is growing and making a few offshoots but no flowers.

I can't hardly tell that mine is growing except for the one offshoot that does continue to grow, though ever so slllllowly.

Thanks all!

These are ver, very slow growers. I could barely tell that mine was growing. It produced maybe a leaf per year. Until I saw the bud emerging, I thought it was the nonblooming variety. Now if my angraecum leonis can take some lessons that would be great.

I have the NONblooming variety of Leonis! At least they've been low maintenance plants!

Love it

Here is an update on my Lemforde White Beauty. I am really happy with these blooms.

Good grief, that's gorgeous

Gorgeous!

could someone tell me where i can get one in US? I would love to have one. I used to have one back in 2001 but lost it. Anyway, please let me know. I really appreciat that.

Very nice Darlene! You have the touch.

Beautifully grown and flowered! Great substance and the fragrance must be intoxicating. I wish Angs were easier to find here.

I've seen small ones (not flowering) in Bunnings, give them a try.

I've only ever seen the usual selection of noID hybrid dens and phals (lots & lots of phals), with the occasional named tube baby catts, oncs and cyms 5+ years away from flowering in the local Bunnings here. If your local has an orchid enthusiast managing the gardening section I'm quite jealous! I will keep an eye out but so far I've had the most luck with orchid shows and (surprisingly) ebay.

I got an A. sesquipedale from Bunnings. Anxiously awaiting blooms like the one in the photos above, even if it might still be a few years off. From Oct 2012 to get a bloom is a long time but I have a long growing season (pretty much a 12 month growing season) so I'm hoping it won't take as long. Fingers crossed anyway. Angraecums only seem to have white flowers but they're still quite impressive.

Wow! I think I'd keel over in shock if I found an A. sesquipedale in Bunnings (then I'd snatch it up). I have a hybrid Ang Crestwood which produced three good-sized new leaves this growing season - positively speedy for an Ang - so it should be flowering sized now and I'm waiting impatiently... They do appreciate lots of light, heat and humidity so you northern growers have an advantage. Love those pristine white flowers, and that fragrance...!
