    5 spikes this time.
    It's too cold in my greenhouse during wiinter for this species, so it is in my house, in an orchidarium, since the end of last autumn.

    I really like the salmon tinge that the flower has.

    For its first blooming of the year, now in winter, it is slightly pink, but when it blooms for the second time in summer, the flowers are really pink.

    Very nice!!! Is the pink color typical of this species or is yours an unusual variety?

    I think that it may be a variety.
    The A.arachnopus we found in Europe are nearly completly white, as one of mine which comes from Camerun.
    The flower's shape is not exactly the same as you can see on this picture.

    I have two others which are pink and they both come from Congo, so maybe the origin of the variety is a question of country.
