anceps looking noid - Orchid Board

Aceetobe · #1 10-23-2021, 12:56 PM

I lost the tag on this, but looks really cool. It’s growth habit looks exactly like anceps (bulbs look the same only produces one growth per season) so I thought it was one, but I’ve never seen an anceps like this. First thought is something like Schombolaelia Summit

Also has 6 flowers which would be a lot for anceps.

Any ideas?

Anceps flowers have pointy sepals, not so round as the flower you show us.
Can you post a photo of the whole plant?

My experience is that modern anceps line breeding has very rounded sepals.

Here is whole plant

Can't help with the ID but it's a very pretty flower.

The plant looks like something similar to anceps but the main difference I've found is that in anceps the pbulbs are longer and, as far as I know, they don't have those wrinkles.
But the flower is beautiful, indeed.

It might be L. Finckeniana (L. anceps x L. albida) or have that as a parent... I have never seen an L. Finckeniana with spots, I suspect that this somewhat more complex.

Thanks everyone for the help! absent finding the tag, it will remain a noid. I still strongly lean towards Laelia Summit

Yes, L. Summit (L. anceps x L. lyonsii)...it looks like it but we will never be sure.

OK went digging through old purchases and confirmed I have purchased L Summit ‘Tomiko’ in past so this must be it.
