This Cattleya briegeri, not a Laelia.

I know but i'm not apply the "new" taxonomic naming, i prefer the "old school" .
In any case it change every 2 years..

Really nice. Love that yellow.

I'm like you. I tend to still use the name Laelia purpurata rather than Cattleya purpurata as it officially is now. It's impossible to keep up on these things.

actually I have three....two are the same plant because I divided it. I got it from Miranda Orchids and they showed a pic of one of the parents here:

Orchids of Brazil. Price List

scroll down just a little. So yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a real one. The other one I got from the Orchid Trail, but no pictures, so I'm hoping it's a real one. but it is humongous and looks like the other two that I have, so...

You have 3 milleri ? Welcome to the club !! I have 5 of them But actually I'm not sure anyone of them is a real one... The PBs have the good shape so wait and see...
If you get yours from miranda it's probably a real one.
I have one from Vitorino Castro but I probably have to wait a year for the first bloom.

Yes. I've mount all my rupicolous laelias on cork so I can hang them at the top of my greenhouse .
