Species Description
Aerangis kirkii is “an elegant little Orchid from Cape Coast, with dark green leaves and very compact growth; the blossoms are white, and have a small tail about two inches long. The plant blooms from October to December, and remains two or three weeks in good condition. I have grown this plant on a block, but it does best in a basket, where the roots obtain plenty of moisture.” (Source: Classic Orchid Grower’s Manual by B.S. Williams.)
