Armeni White with albas

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

What do you experts think will happen when you make an paph armeni white using the alba forms of both delenatii and armeniacum? Will this change the color of the standard armeni white that we are all used to?

seems to me it would look like a delenatii alba.

I think it'd look the same.

What about one made with Paph. delenatii v. dunkel?

i would imagine the staminode would be just yellow/white instead of having any red pigment

No. Armeni White has much bigger segments and also the blooms last a long time! It would be lighter to start with then stay light. We are starting to see hybrids made with delenatii albums.

It would most likely be smaller than most Armeni Whites as alba forms tend to be smaller than their normal colored counterparts.

Ross, would you expect any change in the color?
