You think that gator would be irritated by the time he arrived at Ursula's, imagine Bree trying to unwrap that sucker after a trip to Australia! Besides, I'll bet she has some crocs close at hand.

When I went to the Tampa Orchid Show and Sale last fall, I was looking for a Laelia purpurata and came away with a cross that was close. To these old eyes, the tag says "L. purpurata tep. estriado Sobre tosada.lab.sclido X self"
This vendor works out of Colombia, thus the Spanish. Does anyone know what this means?

Anyway, the first bloom just opened today and I am quite pleased even if I'm not sure what I have.
