Laelia purpurata var. vinicolor

[Rosim_in_BR]

This plant belonged to a late orchid collector who was very skilled with purpuratas. He had one of the best collections at the time (80's). This plant was originally labeled var. telha, a really rare, beautiful coloration similar to the brick orange. But some mess must have occurred with the labels because what flowered is this beautiful vinicolor, but not the telha I was expecting.
