Laelia purpurata var. werkhauseri estriata
Though the variety werkhauseri is well-known (with only the lip violet-plumb), the one with stripes in the petals is a little more difficult to find and perhaps is less known than the first. The flowers of this specific clone are 6" across. Another one I grow has flowers as wide as 7.6"! Enjoy!
