Laelia anceps, a Treasure of Mexico.  Although large, these spectacular cattleyas grow well outside in our subtropical climate, and with their myriad colors and free-blooming tendencies, these are great plants for every collection. California is a hot-bed of interest in Laelia anceps types and hybrids, and has been for years; we will explore its influence in hybrids, and how breeders have made combinations of naturally occurring forms to create entirely new strains of this lovely species.  By the end of this presentation, you will have a new appreciation of the range of color forms of Laelia anceps and its hybrids, as well as an appreciation of their beautiful flowers and ease-of-growth.  In addition, I can provide some wonderful select divisions and seedlings of Laelia anceps and its hybrids.
