Default Laelia

My guess is that it's a young plant. Sounds like what you see growing
is a new growth. Assuming that it's a young Laelia with no pseudobulb,
it'll take a few years before it flowers. Each new growth should be a
bit bigger and longer than the previous ones, and only big growths
have pseudobulbs.

Cheers

om...
Laelia flowers grow from the top of the psedobulb. Yep, they grow from
the same place as the leaves. Where is that something growing from? If
it's from near the roots it could be a new growth, if it's from the
top of a mature bulb it could be a flower.

Hope this helps.
