Default Laelia reginae
This is a small plant, one of the few rupicolous with lavender flowers and yellow lips. A true jewel!

Oh wow! This was one of our project orchids. Mine has not done much up until now. The sheathes always turned black in the past, but my new sheathe is still green looking and healthy. Now I'm looking forward to seeing the blooms. So so beautiful!

Yup, I remember the project, Kiki! It is normal that the sheath in this Laelia gets dry before the buds appear, but not black... I hope this time you can enjoy this little beauty!
