Laelianthe Bowri-Albida 'Pink Lady' AM/AOS
 

This is yet another acquisition from Orchids by Hausermann. Guarianthe bowringiana x Laelia albida. This one has 9 spikes with about 51 flowers opened. :biggrin: The fragrance is, well, interesting.:hmm

Great job Royal! You should get this judged!!!

WOW Royal that is amazing! congratulations!

WOW! :yikes:

That is fantastic!!!

Ummm...interesting fragrance, how? :hmm

Spicy, floral, urine. Interesting enough for you? :rofl:

I have always loved this hybrid and am so glad that Hausermann made it so widely available. When I lecture, I always cite this hybrid as the perfect first orchid but one that because of its nature will never be a contender for an award. Much like Ascofinetia hybrids which are great plants for hobbyists - including windowsills and under lights - but which don't have the "umph" for an award.

This would make a great hybrid with a Dialaelia (whatever it is called these days).

That is a beautiful specimen...full of beautiful blooms!

Well done Royal! :clap: :bowing

I was going to ask what you meant by "interesting" when you described the scent at teh beginning of your post. :scratchhead: I never would have thought urine would be part of the detailed description. :faint:

You couldn't ask for a prettier center piece than that, Royal. She's stunning!

Another great beauty, Royal!!!

LOVELY!!!!

WOW! That is simply amazing. Very impressive...another one for the wish list! Thanks.

The new name didn't catch my eye, but now I see it Royal. Nice plant! That's a lot of blooms.
