Laelia fidelensis

Smithsonian, Washington DC

Boy am I behind!!! in posting, comments, and processing.
I won't make a New Year's Resolution to improve that way
maybe I can just get back into my old habits.

This very nice Laelia is one of the many Cattleya Alliance
species that are undergoing intense scrutiny by the taxonomists
in trying to determine which Genus it really belongs to, which
only adds to the difficulty in trying to properly label them here
This one has also been labelled Sophronitis fidelensis.
