The Angraecum family of orchids is native to the tropical and sub-tropical lowlands of Africa and Madagascar. Most are moth pollinated therefore they have predominately white flowers that exude wonderful fragrances at night. However, they are not only white. They come in green, taupe, and pink too. A prominent nectary is the common trait. Although a few become huge plants, most are small to miniature that grow into nice specimens. Most are not high light requiring and are happy with intermediate temperatures.
