Laelia alaorii

[tenman]

Laelia alaorii, a miniature barely a 3 inches high with 1.75-inch flowers. More open than most of this species, this one also shows a good deal of color. The pink blush on the petals/sepals is actually more pronounced than the pic shows. This is my second of this species; the first was a pale medium grey throughout. Grown mounted misted heavily daily in high light in intermediate/warm conditions.

Sure. It has a second flower now open as well.

{I like miniatures.} Those flowers are larger than I thought! Quite like the shape as well.
