Laelia fournieri

[tenman*]

A new trick form this one, which generally blooms at least twice a year for me while the other rupicolous laelias are reluctant to bloom at all. This year it has aged nicely - the flowers are about two weeks old now. The flowers always have a very, very faint lavender blush at the very tips of the petals. This time, they have suddenly developed similar lavender blushes in the middle of the petals, which have now reflexed more than usual but are still quite fresh. The lavender blush is actually more obvious to the naked eye than I was able to capture in the photo. Anyone know if this is normal behavior for these? It's a little cooler than usual in the GH this winter; maybe that's it. Whatever it is, I like it a lot!
