Don't give up! I bought a L. perrinii bare root in 1993, and with
tender, loving care it bloomed in 1996, again in 1998, and annually since. I'll post a picture for you on ABPO. Laelias are related to the Cattleyas, both part of the Laeliinae (sp?) subtribe, according to Rebecca Northen, whose book would be a great source of information for you. They thrive in the same conditions; intermediate to warm, high light, and drying out between waterings.

Thanks a lot....I dont know for sure what kind of laelia i have, i guess i
will have to wait for flowers....As i said before, something is growing...maybe flowers..overall looks nice and healthy, and with srping started to grow. I have planted in a ix of bark, and i have put some s.moss on top...to keep some moisture...I am still wondering if the light is enough ( i just moved and i do not have space at the window anymore.....)

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.

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.
