Default Laelia praestans

This little beauty is rather compact, so far, but we'll see how it ends up. It has no fragrance as of now, but it has only been open for two days....so it still has time to smell.

She is beautful! It would be lovely if she developed a scent.

Very nice!
I have a couple of these, but they haven't bloomed yet, so it's nice to see what I have to look forward to!

It's hard to tell the size from the photo, but that is only a 3" pot.

That is some lip - looks like a complete tube. Nice growing Jasen.

You might say it looks "totally tubular"!

That's a very cool plant and flower, Jasen. Let us know if it develops a fragrance over the next few days, please.
