Aerangis punctata in bud

We're coming into fall, so it's time for the Aerangis punctata to bloom again.  This orchid fared very well this year, growing a nice big new leaf.  Big leaf- ha! each one is an inch long.  But it has five leaves now!  And once again, two buds on the spike.



These buds are so fun to watch develop, with the curled-up nectary that gradually gets longer and longer and longer.
