Default Laelia purpurata var. anelata 'Santa Adélia'

One of the last purpuratas of this season! This is an old and well-known clone. People usually call it variety argolão, but the majority of authors do not recognize this variety.
This time the lines in the lip prolonged a little more than usual almost blurring the characteristic ring in the throat! Anyway, this is always quite a sight when in bloom

I love the anelatas! The veining is very unusual in this one, it almost seems to look like a spider web. I like the smaller shape too, very different!
