Laelia sanguloba, the Laelia with bloody side lobes

The distinchtive characteristic of this species is the deep red side lobes, otherwise it is very similar to Laelia cinnabarina. The flowers on my plant are deep orange, close to red, making the red lips not so evident as they are when the flowers are the common orange.
