Lc. Sheila Lauterbach 'Equilab' FCC/AOS

[Rosim_in_BR]

Wonderful semi-alba of large, perfumed flowers, it has recently received an FCC award from the AOS, scoring 92 points if memory serves me well, although it is a classic hybrid, from the 80's.

WOW! I love s/a, and this one is great!
Mauro, I'm looking for Lc Melody Fair 'Carol', do you know where I can find it? Orquidário Suzuki has Melody Fair 'Mishima' and 'Taida', but not 'Carol'!

YES.. That sure is pretty, thanks for sharing. Your pictures are always so great to look at. Jim.

Sérgio Englert from Ricsel Orquídeas had it and probably still has. You can download his catalog here and then contact him to confirm whether the plant still is available or not: ::: RICSEL - Orquídeas e Bromélias :::

Thanks Mauro, he still has "Carol" but his prices....... More than double of the average! When I went to Porto Alegre in october Luiz Felipe Varella (Lista de Discussão de Orquídeas) told me about Englert, his great orchids and his big prices! I chose another nursery to visit there (Orquidário Rincão, also a Varella indication) and I bought some purpurata and intermedia seedlings; a risky choice, but much cheaper!

Yep, Ricsel Nursery prices...! Also, their plants are far from the size they state on their site, at least in my experience with them.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye open, if I come across someone having it I'll let you know.

Hi, Orquidia! Excellent choice! It is mainly a fall bloomer, but well established plants also bloom in the spring.
Here my last flowers of it:
