Schomburgkia species (please help identify)
 

Hi!

I'm hoping that someone here will be able to identify this Schomburgkia species for me. I bought it several years ago and subsequently lost the tag. I do know that it's a species as I have only purchased species in this genus. I do realize that it's probably now considered a Laelia, but I have yet to make that transition.

This is a first-time bloom for the plant. It's growing quite vigorously in a twelve-inch hanging basket. Three inflorescences, each with 10 to 12 flowers. The flowers have a NS of about 1-1/8 inches.

And here is a whole-plant photo.

The camera flash has washed out the color somewhat in these photos. It's actually more vibrant in real life. Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,

Laelia / Schomburgkia undulata

Pretty sure but not 100% because my book is at my parents. They had the same species flowering 2 weeks ago so flower time is a match to.

Thank you, RobS!

I'm also inclined to say Schom. undulata. Mine is almost in full bloom now with 12+ spikes here in FL.:biggrin:
