    Default Laelia purpurata var. carnea

    My father was all smiles on Sunday, when I gave him this little treasure. Cannot take credit for the blooms, but thought this beauty was worth the pic.
    I thought the variety carnea meant that the color would be more salmon rather than pink, but it looks pink to me.

    Very pretty, Veronica!

    Mine was also pink (flowers just faded yesterday.) There can be some color variation, but I think pink/purple is more common than salmon.
