Laelia anceps
Here is a somewhat unusual color form of anceps. It is a seedling of (Mem. Bob Norton x var. sanderiana).
Flowers are not quite white, but have a slight bluish pink sheen. Lip is faintly colored, but does have the dark striations up in the throat.
Second time it is blooming, though only with 2 flowers on each spike. Hopefully it will up the flower count as it grows bigger.

A short update. This plant is extremely vigorous, and also a very compact grower, stretching only about 1/2" between pseudobulbs. It was last repotted in 2016 into a 14" bulb pan. It had a limited blooming in the 2016/17 winter, following the repot.
In both 2016 & 2017, I moved it outside into full sun. In 2017 it was outside from 4/22 through 11/20, just two days shy of 7 months.
In the past, it always missed the two NJ shows. This year it was timed perfectly for the Deep Cut OS show (Feb 8-11). With 14 spikes carrying 43 flowers, it earned both a CCM/AOS and Best species specimen in the show.
