Anyone growing Laelia kautskyana?

[rbarata]

It bloomed...altough IOSPE says it usually has 6 flowers, this has only two, probably because I am giving it too much light (full sun for several hours straight, since middle of the morning until late afternoon).
It is a vigorous but slow growing plant...

Well done!! :-)

Very well done, those blooms are stunning! I'm surprised by how large they look compared to the plant.

As to the flower count, if this is the first blooming then that could be another reason why there are only 2 flowers.

Really nice blooms, lovely lip.

Well, this is a small size plant and I really don't know if this is a young plant or not. This is the first bloom under my care and I haven't seen any older sheaths when I bought it so its age might be a reason.
