[fibre]

A little leucochilum with grayish stiff leaves and two charming flowers:

very unusual spotting. I like it.

I like it too. It doesn't look manipulated and artificial.

Love it

It is very nice, but is it really what leucochilum looks like in situ?

 

[SlipperFan]

Charming, indeed!

Nice 'wild-type' leuco.. Most of the non-selected leucochilums do look like these. Small plants with narrow mottled leaves (smaller leafspan than niveum). Some of the selected ones tend to have almost uniformly dark green leaves and much improved flower size.

Good to know!
It is very interesting how the leaves are mostly just dark green on large flowering ones.
My second leuco has dark green leaves with less much mottling than my first.
Hopefully the flower will be big.

Amazing what select breeding can do!

You can see this fenomenon at niveum or thaianum too.

Yes but it is not a consistent trait though. Within the same batch, there can be still some with all green leaves and some with mottling and it has nothing to do with colour of the flower. I have a selected leuco which has mottled leaves and the flower is darker than another which has green leaves. My friend also says the same with a niveum he has.
