Laelia tenebrosa
 

Here's the regular flower of this species. Interesting is that people use to think of tenebrosa as a non fragrant species, but the truth is that it is fragrant at noon.

Is this a large plant? I mean how tall/wide does it get when mature? It's really lovely and I love the orange colors (my favorite).

To me even a 'regular' tenebrosa is spectacular. Love it.

Phenomenal specimen. :bowing Oh how I wish I could grow these things. Oh well, at least I can enjoy your lovely photography.

Impressive display!

Such a stunning orchid, Mauro!
I can't wait til mine goes off :dance13:
Thanks for posting :D

Gor Ge Ous! :clap:
Gotta love those laelia! especially Mauro's :nod:

Thanks guys, L. tenebrosa really is a splendid orchid.
Ross, this can be tall and wide. Mature plants are not smaller than a foot and half and need to be potted in 6 or 7" pots (four pseudo bulbs more or less).
