Cool Laelia anceps alba
A white variety of this orchid from eastern Mexico. Although it is said everywhere I have read that it is an easy orchid, it appears this particular plant didn't read the book. Perhaps I became overconfident and didn't give it the care it needs to grow well. Nevertheless it has bloomed with this gorgeous flower.
