    Amazing color. I don't have much luck with the mini Laelias. Do you give this one a dry winter and bright light?

    It's grown bright in the winter, but I don't think the roots are ever dry for very long.

    That's really nice, Dale. I didn't know these could be fragrant, are any of the other rupicolous laelias scented?

    "are any of the other rupicolous laelias scented?"

    I presume so. But I haven't grown a lot of these so can't give you a good answer to your question.

    Awesome, Dale. I acquired one in 2010, and hope mine will be as beautiful as yours.

    Thanks Dale. I have a compot of lilliputana seedlings, hopefully I'll get a nice surprise when they bloom.
