This orchid has a funny story. I had ostensibly purchased a Laelia anceps var. alba 'San Bar Oaxaquena' back in 2010. When that one bloomed, I realized it was not an alba, and I sent a picture to the vendor, who promptly sent a replacement division this year. THIS is the replacement. It's supposed to be a Laelia anceps var. alba 'SanBar Oaxaquena' but it's clearly not an alba.

I'm simply calling it a Laelia anceps var. sanderiana at this point. Whatever it's called, its beautiful, don't you agree? This photo was taken today.

I have other Laelias waiting in the wings, either in spike, or in bud, and they are eager to show themselves off.
