Default Laelia lobata

This Laelia (Sophronitis, Hadrolaelia, Brasilaelia....) lobata has 'type' flowers and is blooming late this year (usually spring/summer, we are in the south hemisphere fall). L. lobata is a serious endangered species in nature (CITES appendix 2): it is endemic to Pedra da Gávea (Gávea Stone, a rock mass) in Rio de Janeiro city (urban area); a species only founded in nature in a major city urban area is obviously prone to be extinguished (mine wasn't collected, it is originated from a seedling). An authentic 'carioca' beauty!

OMG it gorgeous! You have taken very good care of it. I'm glad there are people out there with the ability and drive to save these wild beauties!

Tindo,
I've been growing this Laelia for about 10 years, since it was a 3" seedling (I bought it in :: Bela Vista Orchids - Assis/SP/Brazil ). It's blooming regularly in last five years. L. lobata plant is very similar to L. purpurata, only a little bit small (the flowers are a little bit small too), but lobata is lithophytic and doesn't like media, blooming better when grows outside of the pot (bare root)
