Laelia gouldiana |
Laelia gouldiana, a true Laelia from Mexico. My first post with this orchid was in November 16, 2016. Then it only had a single flower stem, and now there are three. This orchid is a rather easy grower. It needs a lot of water, light and fertilizing from April/May, until the end of September/October. This treatment decreases and seizes when the flowers begin to open. The plant is kept almost dry until the season starts again.

| (A) Ten flowers blooming now. A brief moment outdoors. |
 |
| (B) A closer view of the purple flowers. |
 |
| (C) In the center, you will see the bright yellow color with red veins of the back of the lip. |
 |
| (D) Each of the flower stems are about 2 feet high. |
 |
| (E) Each flower would last for about four weeks before wilting. |
I'm still enjoying these beautiful flowers in our basement.
Until my next post, stay safe.
