Laelia purpurata flamea x L. purpurata striata Doraci in bloom
A purchase from several years ago, this is a set of back bulbs that I separated 4 years ago and is finally blooming for me this week. Purchased at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate in 2008, I grow this one outdoors in coastal Southern California. I found that the clue to getting this varietal to bloom is almost full sun all day. When I had it in light shade, or only morning sun, it refused to bloom.
