Laelia albida questions
Default

Hello Arron:
I have a Laelia albida, and it does not look like yours. I purchased from Santa Barbara Orchids, which is a reputable source, so I have confidence that mine is the correct species. It is not a named clone, so is a representative of the species. Check out the orchidspecies.com listing for L. albida.
The photo of yours makes me think it is a hybrid, and perhaps was mislabeled. It looks like it may be a cross of L. albida and L. anceps? Just a guess.
"Albida" implies it is an 'alba' color or white...the species can have a pale pinkish form too.
Whatever it is you have it is worth haning onto and enjoying. The bloom is attrative, so picture that multiplied with 3 or 4 spikes and several blooms to the spike. You will forgive it for not being what you thought you purchased.
I grow mine mounted and it takes temperatures of near freezing to 90F plus, tolerates drying out.
Good luck with your little beauty!
