Need to see the base with bulbs and leaves.

Sorry I can’t find more pictures.

If you can give me some clues, I can try searching.

Could this be Laelia anceps?

Yes does look like it.

Thanks for checking. I am learning a lot from you.

Thanks … I’m only going through The Orchid Column.

I don’t work outside Asia so many American and African genus, I dont even know the names.

I know a bit of European orchids.

All of them are new to me too.

Frankly, my knowledge of Orchids is very limited.

I’m learning with your help.
