L. purpurata striata x B. Digbyana
I bought this Laelia purpurata hybrid on ebay four years ago. It languished on my windowsill until I put it outside in dappled sun in April, and now, finally I got a bloom off of it, along with much sturdier grows (previously the new psuedobulbs were thin, floppy, and now stocky and sturdy).
Not great form, but a beautiful lip with a delicate fragrance.

TO Flexdc in Los Angeles - being half laelia purpurata, I am counting on it being able to survive a So Cal winter outdoors. I have other purpurata hybrids and a large L purpurata that seem to do well outdoors, so we shall see  |

That is pretty cool looking! Not your classic Catt look, but really attractive none the less.

Good job getting it to flower. The lip is so digbyana - the frill, fringe is very nice. Love to see future blooms, hopefully there will be better shape.
