Hi folks.
I think I've had this plant for six years. It's grown extremely slowly - I only have one piece of it and it's only been repotted once, not divided - but it's finally flowered. And it was unexpected.
Sadly the photos haven't managed to capture the green in the centre of the labellum. In my collection this is unusual but there you go. I can try again but since it didn't work on the first batch of pictures I suspect you'll just have to take my word for it. Maybe in sun with no flash would work. It's the green that's got me thinking gouldiana:

It also has a lot in common with some of the anceps images and of course it could easily be a cross.
It's a small plant too as you can see from the ruler. The flower spike is 35-40cm (approx 850-900 inches for those unfamiliar with metric) tall.
I hope you can help out, I'll try and get some pictures that capture the green after the sun gets to a decent height.
Cheers,
Murray.
Probable laelia - maybe anceps or gouldiana
