Hi Katrina, thanks for the data on the root formation it will be very useful to try and save the gouldiana.Were i live is getting quite cold at night already so i will try to keep it in a warm place until it develops roots.

Regarding the veitchiana variety i saw a picture HERE that made me think it is a veitchiana, what do you think?

You're very welcome - glad I could help.

As for you link - I am by no means an anceps ID expert so if that is a correct ID on the pic then I imagine there could be variations of the var veitchiana. Although, if that's the case, I wonder why even put the "var veitchiana" designation to it. ??

When I ordered mine I was going after the exact color and shape I got...if there are darker ones, I'm glad I got the one I did. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful...I'm in love w/all the anceps!...but I would've been disappointed to not have the color I do.

Andy w/Andy's Orchids is pretty much an expert w/Mexican orchids when it comes to IDing some of these guys...you might want to send him some pics and see what he has to say about your plants. Couldn't hurt.

Good luck w/the rootless guy but I'd bet it'll pull through because these guys are tough. I've had some w/no roots and once they get going...they do really well.

That picture definitely isn't var. veitchiana which is, indeed, a coerulea type. But "variety" which is more correctly "form" doesn't have an botanical meaning anyway. So for your ID, "L. anceps" would be fine.
To see a few "named" forms, and just enjoy the variability, check out the L. anceps page of my website, Laelia anceps. In coastal southern California, USA L. anceps grows really well - they are even more cold-tolerant than Cymbidiums. (30 deg F/-1 deg C no problem if dry) If I have one that isn't going to bloom, it may start rooting in October or November. The ones that bloom (most of them) are a little later, but mine definitely don't wait until blooming is done to root - just observe them and you'll see when they are starting. In fact,you can feel the little bumps from the new roots even before you see them.

Bloom time can be quite variable... I have had the same plant bloom in January one year and in late November another year. Summer weather seems to be a factor, but the plant may have its own reasons unknown to us mere humans. Enjoy whenever it occurs!
