Laelia kettieana

[SlipperFan]

This is for Mark -- is this the one that bloomed for you? It is so cute!

 

[Lanmark]

Nope. This one had not yet bloomed for me. It was the L. bradei that had.

This one is verrry nice! :clap: I'm so happy it has bloomed for you! :clap:

[Paul]

Pretty one!

Very nice. I'm still trying to figure out how to get most of mine to bloom. Fournieri bloom regularly and milleri was a first-time blooome rthis spring, but the other dozen or so just don't.

Pretty Dot, but that's not a Catt, it's a Laelia :rollhappy::sob::rollhappy:

Now that I think about it, the picture of kettieana in OrchidWiz is yellow. Does this species have a yellow phase too?

And KyushuCalanthe, of course this could be a Cattleya, a Sophronitis or a Hoffmannsegella... anything but a Laelia.

Interesting ... Jay has a photo of one that is the same color as mine, but he also has one that's a different color. Not yellow, though.

Beautiful, Dot! I love these little guys.

I'm rethinking it, Dot, and perhaps this one did bloom for me once before. I can't remember anymore. :rollhappy:
