Elusive Laelia hybrid, any guesses?
Default Elusive Laelia hybrid, any guesses?

so far, no one has been able to identify it, after a month or two, i remembered i could ask you guys too!
well, hopefully someone will know...

GENERAL
pale green plant in colour, much paler than my other 'chids.
the inflorescence in around 12-13 cm (4-5 inches) long and about 4-5 millimetres in diameter, flowers are firm, but flexible, like a cattleya
pronounced stripes inside throat, deep pink labellum joined to tops of throat, which is divided
faint scent of honey, possibly no scent, not exactly sure, as i got a scent, but others couldnt detect one.
ridged plant with a creeping rhizome, close together, flowers only once per plant segment, roots quite thick, like a vanda, prolific.
only two even leaves per plant segment, never more, never less. by even i mean on level, not one enveloping other at base like oncids,

thanks heaps guys,

-J

Unfortunately, I haven't got a clue what it is. I love the shape of the flowers, though.

Hard to say for sure, but the lip looks like it has some C. intermedia in it's parentage somewhere..

ive had a thought, perhaps:
Cattleya intermedia for colour and throat curl (they cross over at top)
Laelia anceps for colour
Laelia purpurata for shape, lip and colour
Laelia speciosa for shape, colour and lip size

What do you guys think? and more importantly, whats it called?!
