Angraecum sesquipedale: Native to Madagascar and will grow in conditions similar to Cattleya. It has large star shaped, white flowers. Charles Darwin observed this plant in the late 1800's and thought there had to be a large moth with a 13 inch long proboscis that pollinated this flower. The nectary on this flower can be over a foot in length. Over 50 years later this moth was discovered.
