ORCHID SPOTLIGHT : Laelia anceps #orchidspecies

Laelia anceps is an epiphytic orchid in the Cattleya Alliance group. It mostly grows on oak trees in the wild (occasionally found on rocks as well), and in hobby culture grows best in a bulb pan pot, or on a large piece of cork or manzanita branch. This plant will require some space, but can also be cut back or divided to sustain its size. Typically, they will flower with 3 to 4 pseudobulbs developed (usually starting in a 5 to 7-inch container), and have rather tall stems ranging from 2 to 4 feet tall. When grown in very bright light, the stems can often shorten in length.

Your description is making me think sandalwood type of scent. She’s a beauty. Love that touch of yellow to draw you in. She’s captivating.
