Laelia purpurata var. coerulea

The blooms feature predominantly white petals and sepals beautifully contrasted by a distinctive lip in delicate shades of blue-violet to lavender, characteristic of the sought-after coerulea form. It thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures with bright, indirect light, good humidity, and excellent air circulation.
