Laelia praestans

[Rosim_in_BR]

Laelia praestans is close relative to Laelia pumila, but there are significant differences in the lip: number of keels running beneath the column, one of the side lobes folding over the other and the entire lip structure designing an angle in a side view. A few varieties are known like alba, concolor, semi-alba.

Wow! That is a beautiful flower!
I have several of these that seem to be growing just fine, but haven't bloomed yet, so I am thrilled to see how beautiful the flowers are.
Great job flowering and beautiful photos as usual Mauro
