Default Laelia Santa Barbara Sunset

I bought this one in October at the Tampa Orchids sale. It had 2 spikes which each put out 2 flowers. Very pretty flowers that see to get more orange with age.

Did yours bloom for you Dana ?
This one seemed to take forever to get it's spikes up and blooms open. I put it where it gets pretty bright light in the late afternoon and it seemed to like it!

I had one of these but it grew me out of house and home. I gave it to my son, but it's not doing so hot as he sorta stopped caring for his chids. I should probably take it in again, get it healthy and give it to someone who'll take care of it.

Yours is very pretty Laura.

Pretty! That does look like L. anceps but with great peach color.
