Cachia .. anceps guerero ..

Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
This entry likely corresponds to Laelia anceps form guerrero (sometimes called forma chilapensis), a variant native to the state of Guerrero in Mexico, where the type species grows epiphytically on mountain oaks in warmer areas than the rest of its range. This Laelia has ovoid pseudobulbs bearing one or two leathery leaves and produces, in autumn, a long arching spike with several fragrant flowers, sepals and petals pink with deeper carmine tips, and a carmine-purple lip with a yellow, red-striped centre. It requires bright light, cool to intermediate growing conditions, and a drier winter rest.
