The Lovely Laelia tenebrosa

[gixrj18]

This would be a favorite in my collection....but unfortunately, the poor thing has a virus. It was too beautiful to get rid of, so it has it's own little spot away from the rest of the 'chids. Because of this, I can't use it for breeding....although, I have heard that viruses can be passed from the seed parent to the offspring, and that virus is NOT passed from the pollen parent to the offspring. Can anyone confirm this, cuz I'd sure like to breed this one.
