A few plants just to hand of this grand Orchid in the finest 
possible condition, 
The deep red-purple blossoms of which are finer than anything 
known, and produced on big, long, sturdy spikes, a great number on 
a spike ; often nine and ten flowers, each five inches across, are pro- 
duced on a single spike. For intense coloration and effectiveness, 
nothing can equal this grand Laelia at its time of flowering, late 
autumn and winter. The flowers are a glowing dark crimson-red, 
with a purplish hue suffusing them ; the lip being more intense than 
the sepals and petals in color. The column is deep crimson and the 
infolding lobes pure white, thus giving the flowers an indescribably 
grand and conspicuous appearance.
