Schomburgkia schultzei vs rosea vs splendida

[Roberta]

First, it's gorgeous! I have a L. splendida that is a lot lighter with narrower segments. So I would suspect that it isn't splendida. Looking at photos in Orchidwiz, schultzei looks the closest. Yours has wider segments than most in that group, really nice form. Now I want one!

Thanks! The bulbs are much more squat than my splendida and are almost alternating unifoliate and bifoliate - whereas my splendida is all bifoliate. Maybe one year I’ll take it to judging so if it gets awarded they’ll have to do the positive ID.
