Laelia tenebrosa alba

[dodidoki]

Rare color form, second blooming, I think with much better flowers, than at first. For white&green lovers, too.

Wow Istvan, indeed this form seems to be very rare. To be honest ..... I didn't even know that this form exists.

Me, neither, Rudolf.
WOW X 2

It is from Japan, via Mrs . Regina Elsner.She offered me as a small division.It was not the cheapest plant but I bought, 2 nd year it bloomed,first it had slumped flowers, this time it has better flowers.

Such beauty! I have always loved this color form of tenebrosa the first time I laid eyes on it at the Tokyo Dome show.

I finally was able to get it from Japan (3 seedlings, but one perished, slow growers).

Istvan, can you take a pic of the flowers outside?

Wow. That is fantastic!
