Laelia anceps (short spike)
The genus Laelia (L) has a few species in Mexico and parts of Central America. The South American species have been reclassified as Cattleya.
Laelia anceps grows well and blooms well in cultivation. It grows in Mexico and Honduras. It is warm to hot growing and needs a dry winter rest and bright light. If it is dry it can winter outside if there is no hard freeze.
The plant is just short of being large enough to divide. There are two distinct clumps but since this is my only plant of this species, I am going to grow it some.
