Project 2017: Rupicolous Laelias
Hi Everyone!!!
So after much discussion I am pleased to post that we are going to do a 2017 project that will be a little different than previous projects. Instead of choosing a specific species or hybrid we are going to all choose a rupicolous laelia of our choice! Should be fun and hopefully we will have some pretty plants/flowers to show off!!
Everyone please feel free to join in, post pictures and advice/comments/tips. I'll post a picture of my laelia milleri later today when I get home.
With regards to sources these are the ones I've found so far:
Andys orchids (must call him for availability but he does have some rupicolous laelias).
Fred Clark Sunset Valley orchids
Orchid trail has a number of rupicolous laelias listed Orchid Trail: Orchid Species and Hybrids
Miranda Orchids has a few listed for sale (mirandaorchids.com)
Santa Barbara orchid (Santa Barbara Orchid Estate Home Page) appears to have several listed but requires a call for availability.
Carter and Holmes
Cschaz on eBay has been reported to be a good source as well.
Ecuagenera has cattleya longpipes formerly known as laelia lucasiana.
Gold country: laelia briegeri
