laelia , Little Sunset

[uphwiz]

I've neglected this for one a while, and put a lot of time and effort in to the cps , but it still thrives ,
this is its third blooming in as many years and seems to be very faithful even with some neglect .
Ill update with a few photos in a day or three.
She does get a little lost in the cps some time LOL.

Lealia is another species but a cousin to Cattleya.

Wish I could have seen the flowers but not coming up.
