Aerides × Bangkok Sunset

Description

Aerides × Bangkok Sunset is a popular hybrid orchid admired for its vibrant colors, strong fragrance, and graceful hanging flower sprays.

Description:
Aerides × Bangkok Sunset is a vigorous epiphytic hybrid derived from Aerides species, combining tropical beauty with robust growth. The plant has a compact to medium size with thick, leathery, strap-shaped leaves arranged alternately along a short stem. Leaves are glossy green and slightly arching, giving the plant a lush appearance even when not in bloom.

The flowers are produced on long, pendulous inflorescences that emerge from the leaf axils. Each spike carries many closely spaced, waxy flowers, creating a full and elegant display. Blooms are typically a warm blend of sunset shades—soft pink, rose, peach, and orange—often with deeper coloration toward the lip. The rounded petals and sepals have a smooth texture, while the lip is slightly contrasting and ornamental.

One of its standout features is its strong, sweet fragrance, especially noticeable in the morning hours. Flowering usually occurs in warm seasons, often spring to summer, with blooms lasting several weeks under good conditions.

Aerides × Bangkok Sunset prefers bright, filtered light, warm temperatures, high humidity, and excellent air circulation. It is commonly grown mounted or in slatted baskets to allow the thick roots to dry quickly between waterings. With proper care, this hybrid is a rewarding orchid that combines vivid color, perfume, and classic Aerides charm.
