....and Maria FINALLY orders her dream orchid!!!!
Ha!!!
Ok.
STOP. THE. PRESSES. 
I've been growing Laelias for a bit now. They aren't dying. I think I can grow them.
I've wanted this orchid FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I've lusted after it like ummmmmmmmmmm I dunno.....like Samson lusted after Delilah...like Catwoman lusted after Batman....like .......... Lanus after his blanket........well..you get the idea. I've wanted it for a long time!!!
So. I'm getting it. Next month. The Super Laelia. The Laelia TO END ALL LAELIAS. The UBERLAELIA. The alpha and the omega. 
Behold the beauty!

SBOE has made a lot of money off of you in the past year, haven't they?
It's a beautiful plant. The colors on the blooms are fantastic.
But I will admit that I was expecting some sort of super-rare, recently discovered plant, not an anceps. Still, I'm really happy for you. It's always awesome to hold that dream orchid in your hands and have it grace your growing area.

I hope it blooms like crazy for you! |

I'm happy for you, peeweelovesbooks!
I'm a beginner and sticking to Phals. for now, but my latest love is Phal. bellina - wich looks very much like your Laelia, and I just bought it (only it's not in bloom yet). So I can understand quite well how you feel 
Grow it well and enjoy it for many years to come! |

I love Laelias and catts, but they don't bloom enough for me. Are there any that bloom more often than a few weeks of the year? I once had a cattleytonia that bloomed a little longer.
I killed my laelia anceps.

I don't have this particular one, but I have two L. anceps now! They are addicting! I am keeping my self to just the two for now until I can figure out if I can keep them alive and bloom them. I don't need to do what I did with the Neo's.....I have about 8 of them and still no blooms yet!
