I got this Laelia autumnalis this past spring. I forgot to catalog it so I don't know the date but I guess "spring" is close enough. I was the beneficiary of a collection down-sizing.
Laelia autumnalis grows in southern Mexico. It is fragrant, cold to warm growing, blooming in the fall.
This plant is mounted on a 9x6-inch piece of cork bark. There are six pseudobulbs. The spike is 24" long and there are two flowers with a third blasted bud. A well grown plant will have several flowers. Maybe next year!
Very nice and delicate flower on this laelia, hope next year it will have abundance of blooms.
