Laelonia Dave's Dapper Dandee |
I thought it would be most appropriate to conclude 2016 with the same orchid I started the year with, Laelonia Dave's Dapper Dandee. My first post for 2016 was on January 2 (click here). I am happy to report our specimen produced seven flowers again.
For those curious about the background of this orchid, it is a primary hybrid between Broughtonia negrilensis x Laelia crawshayana. See my posts from November 10, 2014 and December 15, 2014.

| A) On Dec 7th, the flower stem was once again shooting upwards. Making it rather tight in our basement orchidarium. |
 |
| B) At the top of the stem, we see the seven buds developing. |
 |
| C) The flowers are still in bloom but some of them are wilting. At least two of the flowers were blooming by Dec. 17th. |
 |
| D) This is the only Laelonia that have ever received an award and probably the only Laelonia registered. We are very fortunate to have this specimen in our collection. |
With this post, we bid farewell to 2016. May the new year be a good and promising one.
Happy New Year!
Gott Nytt År!
Selamat Tahun Baru!
