Laelia albida tipo
A plant from western Mexico, epiphytic in the Madrean pine-oak forests of Oaxaca, at elevations between 1200-300 meters. Reportedly the environment is more to the dry side. After the new bulb is completed, a rest period with less water and cool nights is needed, but with as much light as possible in our grey short November days.
I bought my plant 20 months ago, mounted with a fading flower in March. Now it is in natural rhythm, what means flowering in November/December.
Several great colour varieties are known, but difficult to get by.
