This gorgeousness from SBOE!!!!


Laelia autumnalis var. alba 'Gene May', CHM/AOS at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate


(biting my fingernails with fear!!) I wanted to buy something other than Laelia anceps but I love the Mexican Laelias.

Youre insane, autumnalis? You should have got another anceps, at least they last longer than a week.

It's pricey, but hey, life is short, and you can't take it with you when you die, so why not? It's about the same price as an hour of psychotherapy

What a beauty! And yes, your insane like the rest of us! And I'd pay that price too....but only if I had previous experience and new I could grow it. I've been wanting some of the beautiful L. anceps they sell...but I want to make sure I can bloom and keep alive my L. anceps project plant first!

Insane? Nah
The plant is super gorgeous and if it makes you happy, that's all that matters

According to Orchidwiz, this one likes it very bright (3000-4000 fc) but should be protected from burning.

It also gets a winter rest
For 5-6 months (from late autumn to early spring) there is only the occasional very light misting or watering.
As always, when "resting" a chid, if the p-bulbs start shriveling then it should get more water
