Default Laelia albida

Again, another Mexican Laelia species! This one has small cream flowers that open with a pink blush at the tip of the petals. Two or three days later the pink blush disappears. I had to cut the tip of the leaves off due to a fungal disease that is now cured. The plant suffered a little and is recovering now, but is not at its best.

Absolutely lovely. Has it been used in hybridizing a lot? Looks like it could be in the background of Iwan. Appleblossom, and a few others.
