Tell me I'm not insane.....I just ordered......
 

This gorgeousness from SBOE!!!! :)


Laelia autumnalis var. alba 'Gene May', CHM/AOS at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate


(biting my fingernails with fear!!) I wanted to buy something other than Laelia anceps but I love the Mexican Laelias. :)


Tell me, is it hard to grow?

What a ridiculous price though, I wish you all the best :)

I can't help you with the care, but just wanted to say it's lovely!

Your not insane. :)

Youre insane, autumnalis? You should have got another anceps, at least they last longer than a week.

It's pricey, but hey, life is short, and you can't take it with you when you die, so why not? It's about the same price as an hour of psychotherapy :blushing:

oooooo!!!
 

your aren't insane

just O.C.D like the rest of us :rofl:

What a beauty! And yes, your insane like the rest of us! And I'd pay that price too....but only if I had previous experience and new I could grow it. I've been wanting some of the beautiful L. anceps they sell...but I want to make sure I can bloom and keep alive my L. anceps project plant first!

Insane? Nah :frogfly:
The plant is super gorgeous and if it makes you happy, that's all that matters ;)

According to Orchidwiz, this one likes it very bright (3000-4000 fc) but should be protected from burning.

It also gets a winter rest :shock:
For 5-6 months (from late autumn to early spring) there is only the occasional very light misting or watering.
As always, when "resting" a chid, if the p-bulbs start shriveling then it should get more water ;)
