My laelias are beginning to bloom. First up, L. purpurata werkhauseri striata. I got this one last year at the Hilo show from Ben Oliveres of Orchid Eros. I love the dusky color and pale yellow throat.

Next is L. purpurata schusteriana. Another from Orchid Eros. Last year it had one spike. This year, four spikes and 14 flowers!

I have several more to open - it's like Christmas in spring!
