Laelia grandis is a warm growing species that comes from the State of Bahia, Brazil. Sometimes it is confused with Laelia tenebrosa, but both are very distinct species. Laelia grandis has the same vegetative appearance of Laelia purpurata and can be as tall as it. The ocher coloring, the ruffled petals and sepals and the folded petals are characteristics of this species.
