Laelia purpurata v. carnea and x with Cattleya warneri
I was at a Sunset Valley Orchids open house last month, and saw this huge L. purpurata v. carnosa at the other end of the greenhouse. It was already in bloom, so I can't take any credit whatsoever for it, but want to show it off. I really like the color and the way the flowers are presented. I can imagine what it will look like with another couple of years' growth.
The other plant is from Cal Orchids, L. purpurata 'El Supremo' x C. warneri alba 'Showoff'. These two plants are recent additions, and are the tallest of all my orchids. They certainly get your attention.
