Laelia briegeri - new growth - Orchid Board

I purchased this rupiculous Laelia earlier this last summer and I noticed it has responded to my culture with a new growth. There may be more than one - didn't look that close. The rupiculous Laelias (including the "quicky" L. reginae) really love lots of sun and relatively dry conditions. I am sure most of the project plants came, just as my briegeri did, in granitic pebbles in small pot having been subjected to pretty high light (reddish colorations). Just wanted to say I'm pretty happy mine's responding to the culture and I look forward to the yellow blossoms this spring

I have this on my wish list but orchidspieces.com list this as a cold to cool growing orchid so I have not made any moves on it as of yet....Ross....what temperatures are you growing it in?

Same as with all my intermediates. Right now 62 degrees min to 70 max / summer higher by about 10 degrees. I placed it right within inches of the window (mostly for light, but also for winter temps) so maybe this will help?
