This is, without a doubt, my favorite Laelia. It had four flowers, but I accidentally broke off a p-bulb (it just happened to be one with two flowers on it. This beauty already shot out a couple flowers in the fall, also. Gotta love that lip!!

7 3/4" in diameter, and it is simply breathtaking in person!! I have another form getting ready to open it's blooms, L. tenebrosa (type x aurea)....this one hasn't bloomed for me yet, so I'll finally get to see it. Should be any day now!

I think this orchid is just amazing, I truly love this orchid!!
Mines in sheath right now, although it might be a bit young to bloom this year, we'll see

Stunning orchid, good growing, Jasen
