Laelia driegeri
Bought 2 of these last year and this one rebloomed for me...
Why am I still surprised when I get orchids to re-bloom ???
It's been 4 years since I started collecting and still it amazes me

Ross... I don't have a breigeri, but I do have a fournieri, a mixta...The fournieri bloomed for me last year, and mixta is currently in sheath with action happening inside. Neither of them really get any sun, but sit directly underneath my 100w cfl bulb. Maybe you can move yours closer to the bulbs, even if at the expense of losing true sun?

Laura. It is Laelia briegeri.
Someone must have made the b into a d somewhere along the way. When I write tags in fromt of a mirror, my b's and d's somehow turn into p's and q's.
Good job reblooming. If they don't have enough light and proper conditions, these just grow into large clumps and don't bloom
