Laelia anceps ‘Imojileca’ - mounted beginning to root Cattleya warnerii ‘Olompali’s Vessoni’ -Rare plant that I obtained from one of the vendors at an orchid show almost 30 years ago. It is a Guerrero type of Laelia anceps that was found in the wild in that region of Mexico. This plant carries the distinction of being naturally collected originally decades before I purchased it, which kept growing in private orchid collection in that country. Mounted on oak. A rare treat. It was the 20th plant added to my collection!!!
