    Default L. itambana

    This is a rupicolous (rock loving) laelia with flowers roughly the size of of a quarter.I fell in love with this group quite a few years ago It just opened & looks like some other growths will be blooming as well as they mature.This blooms every year for me around this time.

    I meant to add in my 1st post that I stuck my nose in the blooms & this is the 1st time that I have ever noticed that it had a fragrance--quite spicy! (I've had this plant since 1999 )

    It's lovely Jane. Thanks for posting. That slight touch of pink (?) is charming.
