_{“May Flower”}

Laelia Speciosa is a species of orchids. In Mexico it is known by the names of Itzumaqua, Lirio, Flor de Mayo and *Flor del Corpus **.

This is perhaps one of the best known orchid species due to its large and striking flowers up to 10 cm wide, being an important species for the creation of new hybrids.

This species has a wide range of color in its flowers in clusters that can be erect or pendulous.

The plant requires dry winters and springs, as well as summers and autumns with a considerable increase in humidity and precipitation (northern hemisphere).

The plant blooms from late spring, through summer to fall.

The inflorescence is in a raceme and can be up to 20 cm long and generally has one to two flowers of up to 10 cm. wide in each inflorescence, which are pink or purple with a purple lip that turns white near the column.

Laelia Speciosa are easily reared in cultivation and are drought resistant. It can be placed on plates, so its roots can receive air currents and withstand cycles of humidity or drought.
