Suggests to me it would probably be happier in very high light levels or even full sun with protection from just the hottest summer days. Maybe someone with experience in rupicolous laelias like cinnabarina could comment.
The flower colour has intensified now they are a few days mature.

Wow 23 pseudobulbs, and here is me thinking
Oh goody one of my plants actually has 6 pseudobulbs, so I can expect blooms anytime!
Mine do get a bit of sun before I put the blinds down, but they are quite green.
Judging by what has been written I might need to bring them even closer to the front of the shelf, leave the blinds up for an hour longer and breakout the Bananaboat for them!
