    Here's a picture of my Laelia lobata 'Black's Luck'. This is a nice species. The flowers are 4.5" wide and have a pleasant fragrant. I grow it in very high light to full sun. It has been a reliable bloomer for me.

    Enjoy,

    Not often seen here. What is your temperature range?

    Marni:

    I grow my plant in intermediate to hot temperatures. During the winter, I hang it up in the top peak of the greenhouse. During the summer, I grow it outside in full sun to very bright light conditions.

    The temperature range is probably 58 to 105 F.

    Thanks, Allen. Years ago I had a couple of seedlings of L. lobata alba and they didn't do well so I have stayed away from it, but I might be able to do it justice now.
