Laelia albida x Laelia anceps
Teaching moment: The natural hybrid has an 'x' between the genus and epithet, which is all lower case = Laelia x finckeniana, while the man made hybrid has no 'x' and the Epithet is capitalized = Laelia Finckeniana.
Pre-freeze, I had L. x finckeniana 'Kennedy' AM/AOS (first photo). I am currently on a waiting list to get another division.
I recently obtained a piece of L. Finckeniana 'George' HCC/AOS from Waldor. Despite it being only a 2 PB + new lead plant, it still produced 12 flowers on the inflorescence (2nd photo).
