Yesterday I brought the Laelia anceps ( with several good spikes), Schomburgkia superbiens (also showing spikes) and the
Laelia autumnalis v. atrorubens inside. Now this last one is a tough one for me to bloom, in many years I see beautiful spikes only to shrivel up and never to develop properly. This spike came along ok outside, but I would very much doubt the other still smallish spikes will make it.
So, happiness is a single spike in bloom on Laelia autumnalis var. atrorubens Smiling

And there is my Lc Mary Elizabeth Bohn 'Royal Flare' with a first spike of the season. This one needs the most light/sunshine I can possibly give it, or it blooms and grows poorly.

And say goodbye to Habenaria medusa, it was the whole time/weeks producing blooms and these are now the last ones.
