Angraecum urschianum is a tiny species from Madagascar. The plant is only a couple of centimeters tall with flowers that are as large as the plant and a flower spur or nectary that is huge for the size of the flower, nearly 15 cm in length. The flowers are probably pollinated by a night-flying moth with a tongue long enough to reach the nectar in the bottom of the spur. My plant is a seedling blooming for the second time.
