It's Laelia crispa time...!

Beauty! I don’t think you’re in the right spot…that looks like the area under the anther cap. The stigmatic surface is going to be underneath that area and slightly back. It will be sticky.

Edit - just looked at it again in better light and looks good! The area should star swelling and close up around the pollinia in the next few days or so.

Thanks, the place I placed the pollinia was pretty sticky. We'll see!

Haha I have my patio chair nearby. I love getting a waft of its fragrance while I have some beer.
