    Default Laelia rubescens semi-alba

    I bought a large rubscens back in Sep. It wasn't in good shape so I repotted, and divided it into 2 along the process. Both spiked very soon after that, small one with 1 spike, larger one with 2 spikes.
    Here is the bloom from the small plant. Flowers started to open 2 days ago, I thought it would open more, but this is it. It acutally starts to close after dark. The light scent gets stronger in the sun, but I can't describe it.
