Space is just too valuable to host plants that are slowly dying. Chief among those canidates are mericlones with poor root habits and ugly growths. The <span style="font-style: italic;">Hawkinsara </span>hybrids acquired from Orchidmania, the <span style="font-style: italic;">C. intermedia </span>x <span style="font-style: italic;">C. aclandiae </span>hybrid, and <span style="font-style: italic;">Rothara </span>Koolau Starbright all took a trip to the compost heap.<br /><br />Feeling unburdened by the dead weight, we took a trip out to Fordyce Orchids to see their closeout sale.

For example, the <span style="font-style: italic;">Lc. </span>Button Top was labelled as <span style="font-style: italic;">Slc.</span> Button Top...which does not exist. As a coincedence, my specimen of <span style="font-style: italic;">L. lundii </span>happens to be in bloom now. <span style="font-style: italic;">Laelia lundii</span> has several unusual characteristics that make it an anomoly of Brazilian laelias. For example, it is the only Brazilian laelia with two leaves and it blooms from an immature pseudobulb. This plant has two more new growths that I expect will bloom in the coming months.
