Lycaste skinnerii alba forma not!

[Bjorn]

Another one of the fma. not varieties. Bought as L. skinnerii. alba, turns out to be regular. I do not worry though, personally I find the regular better looking NS:12cm

I have one of these but mine has never bloomed. Maybe it is still too small. Yours is a beauty.

There were a few for sale last year on european ebay from someone called 'orchidengeier' or some thing similar.
I bought one and it flowered well and was alba.
Check it out this year.
Still - a nice plant and growing and flowering well!

I wonder whether this is a case where a selfing of an alba form turns out to be the regular form? Dunno. It's a very beautiful flower though! I love it!

Very Nice! I agree, I like it better than the alba one! This one almost looks like a semi-alba!

Robert, it is probably the light that trick a bit. Also as the flowers are some days old they fade a bit so I would say, a normal skinnerii. And I do fully agree on your preferences, there is somthing about that pink colour together with the waxy substance that thrills me.

the pink flush is lovely.

This is beautiful. I've always loved Lycastes but I don't have the space anymore to grow them.

 

[SlipperFan]

I don't think the alba form would be more beautiful.
