Thanks for the info! I didn't know the Mexican laelias were separated from Brazilian ones. But I heard that many laelias were added to Sophronitis genus. Thanks for making it clear! And I wish these scientists do less changes. It becomes so complicated....

I often make Slc divisions with just three pbulbs, including a recent growth. This usually is good enough to make a new plant. I think yours should be fine. You want to look for new roots before you breathe a sigh of relief.

Based in only in certain few DNA sequences this experts group (that included Dressler, a very very important researcher in orchids) concluded that brazilian Laelias would have to be annexed to Sophronitis genera, the older one in cattleya-alliance group that has 8 polen aggregates (cattleya has only 4). What a mess! Since then, several researches have attemped to put some order in caos, but I think in fact they have gotten worse what already was bad: Castro and Chiron (a brazilian and a french) divided the brazilian Laelias in several genera, than Hadrolaelia are the bigger ones (purpurata, lobata etc), Hoffmanseggella and Dungsia are the rupiculous and so on. For me and for many orchid lovers in Brazil and all over the world, Laelia is and will be forever Laelia, doesn't matter what name it receives!

I'd like to add that such divisions are OK if they have buds. I've got nice plant of Laelia speciosa (5 bulbs with roots) few days ago. But the worm made hole at the base of the new growth and - I couldn't believe! - someone ate ALL slipping buds on this plant!
