I have one of these plants. Its my only mounted orchid. This year it had 5 new growths and, in aug, set three spikes. Each one of the spikes are now about 3 feet long and the flower buds are just now swelling. I have around 70 orchids and this one takes the longest to flower. I think it will be the end of Dec before I actually get flowers.

It's lovely, i like the purple lip on white laelia forms a lot. Thanks for sharing. I think it's on my wish-list already or a couple of similar looking laelias.

Hi, that is a very nice pic of the plant and well worth the sharing. Please tell us your user name does not mean what most people would think.
