Laelia anceps fma hillsii

Description

2″ pot. Species native to Mexico is one of the easiest of all orchids to grow and flower. One of the toughest orchids around, it is drought-tolerant, and has been reported to tolerate temperatures ranging from 22 degrees F to over 100 degrees! This subtly-colored variety blooms in winter with lightly fragrant, 3-4” star-shaped white flowers with a light pink lip. The plant itself is very graceful looking, especially the developing leads. This is a great orchid for naturalizing outside in trees if your climate permits it. Photo shows the standard color form, but these will be much lighter in color. Young seedlings.
