Laelia (Rupiculous) Orchids

[Orchidsoutdoors]

I was expecting a lovely display from my rupicolous Laelias this year, but when I checked on them this weekend the flower spikes had all rotted. Every. Single. One. Not sure if it was this winter's warm, humid weather, but nothing for this year.

What a shame! You wait all year for these little flowers and then BAM! They blast on you. Sorry to read that about your plants. I hope your plants recover.
