People are stopping and taking photos on a daily basis

Hopefully they won't cut the spikes this year,BUT there is always one person.

A very happy plant! well grown. If in the past spikes have been cut, why not add a little sign...or a big guard dog...

Is that a type of Cattalaya?

We did add a sign a few yrs. back to no avail.There have been a few pieces missing also,but you put something out like this you have to expect the worst from some folks.
Its Laelia anceps.

I used to work for a nursery that sold orchids. I googled it. It's listed as a catalaya alliance.

Yes you could be right.They have moved thing into different groups and I being stubborn,always forgets to change the name.It will always be a Laelia to me,even tho its in the Cattleya alliance.
If you go to the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate's web page its still under Laelia.

I didn't think about that. They changed Blue Porter weed to just Blue Porter to make it more appealing.

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later,but 23 flower stems are missing.Some people

I would be challenged to catch the stinking thief. I would install a hidden camera. As much as I like orchids I think I would like sweet revenge more. I would get pleasure seeing them in handcuffs. They deserve it. Damn them!
