Laelia sincorana var. caerulea

Now days it's called Sophrocattleya Pink Lady. Most of the Laelias were moved taxonomically to Sophronitis, but we don't want to get poor Mauro started on that subject. Here's a link to a pic. It's going to be a beauty!

Sorry for the thread hijack Mauro! Your plant is stunning! It looks very small, a bit like the rupiculous Laelias. Are they similar?

It is closer to L. pumila, praestans, jonghena than to rupicolous.

Very nice, Mauro....I, too, have this one and am hoping to see it's first blooms this year. Once again, we have similar taste! This can be a costly addition here in the U.S.. I have seen normal bloom-size plants of this beauty for around $140....not even in bloom! I got lucky with mine, got it for $25. At any rate, beatiful flower!
