Well thanks for the compliments everyone! I'll post an update pic when the next spike has open flowers on it with the brighter light.

I like this plant exactly the way it is: small, delicate, cute. The glittering petals always fascinated me and this little shine in the sunlight.

Well, at least you got it to bloom :-) I have several rupiculous Laelias and this is one of those which I have not been able to bloom... And Fred is right, they need a lot of light, so that the leaves get a reddish tone..

Steve, is it growing entirely in rocks or gravel?

Who cares if the colors are "bland?" At least the plant was gracious enough to bloom for you.

Every bloom is a gift, IMO.

Entirely in gravel; atleast from what I can see. I haven't dug around in the media though.

Normally I would agree! But I grow in a very small space now, so every inch is precious. This guy better get it right on the next bloom!!

Muhuhahahahahaah!!!
