    Default Laelia question

    I was given this plant by a good friend who purchased it as a small mericlone from a commercial grower. Its supposed to be Laelia anceps V Gaston Bultel.
    Its growth habit is that of L.anceps including the long spikes with up to 4 flower per spike. The lip doesn't fit the bill, anyone seen anything like it.

    I would guess L. anceps semi alba 'Dawsoniana' ...
