Its a very large plant in a 12" bulb pan. Had 30 flowers (cut some and took to work) Fragrance is sweet with anise like tones.

Stunning! I have one but it's still tiny :angry:

Wow, congrats! A very happy purpurata! Laelia (now 'Hadrolaelia', 'Sophronitis' or 'Brasilaelia', you choose!) purpurata are usually very large plants, specially the "type" ones! I have a "carnea" but not so big, your plant shows a very good appearance!

Very nice, looks like the petals are very flat - very good.
