Angraecum eburneum subsp. superbum

Angraecum eburneum subsp. superbum (Thouars) H.Perrier (1941) is a majestic intermediate-growing orchid from the islands of the Indian Ocean, and one of the most spectacular members of the Angraecum genus. True to its name — superbum meaning "superb" — this impressive species produces large, waxy, ivory-white flowers with a prominent spur and an intoxicating nocturnal fragrance that fills the room after dark. A statement plant for any serious collection.
