Laelia purpurata, another type flower

[Rosim_in_BR]

Here's another type of the species. Many will say that the plant has poor shape and wouldn't deserve perhaps occupy a place on the bench. Yes, agree, it has poor shape, but it is not true this kind of plant wouldn't deserve a place in our collections. I make a point having regular flowers side by side with better ones. After all, they represent what nature makes without man's hands.
