    Anyone have any information on this species? What about an image? The interweb is kind of lacking. I'm thinking elevation, distribution, light requirements, etc.

    Thanks!

    Muahahahahaha!!! Even as I predicted, Angs have begun to take over your life. :clap:

    First you include a fantastic Aerangis in your new frogville and now...you're posting Ang questions on interweb orchid forums. What's next? The denouncement of Bulbos, once and for all? Having said that...

    Your Ang lives upon trees in forests within Sierra Leone to Uganda and south to Angola, often near water, at 550-1300m. Long pendant stems with broad dark green leaves. I've been growing mine in more light than what would create 'dark green' leaves.

    Try a Jumellea next, they're excellent.

    It should be fun to see how these turn out. It is supposed to be a large plant.

    Mine is getting established on a cork mount :)
