Laelia purpurata 'Cindarosa'

[isurus79]

This is an old favorite of mine and a reliable bloomer. The plant is very tall and has a lot of p-bulbs, with 4 separate leads. I think Ill call it a specimen plant next year!! Anyway, the bamboo growing around has really crowded this one this year so the flowers were very crowded and I dont think they were physically able to fully open, so the shape is a little off. Im going to try and cross this one with my digbyana which has just started spiking, though I had to divide it so I hope I get at least one flower from it this year. Thanks for lookin!
