The dorsal is ruffled on this blooming, but is nice and large. Hopefully it will open flatter on next bloom.

Just stunning Ross.
How vigourous are these compared to the normal coloured form?

I think you should let me flower it for you Ross...........:evil:
Once they were large seedlings, they have grown quite nicely.
Yes
This is a sib cross of two half albas from the Orchid Zone. The cross was made by Sam Tsui. I bought a flask from him a few years back. Seven plants showed albinistic colors on the leaves. One died, a friend has one, and this is the third to bloom for me. Number 4 is in bud.
I'm surprised this is a species, I'd definitely take it!!! :drool:

Yes, same question, where's the bud on mine? ***Ed goes out to the greenhouse to look at his plant again.***
The buds seem to come when there are at least three growths, two mature. #1 was the exception, blooming on one + growth, but it dropped the flower quickly and has taken two years to come into bud, again.

This is really sweet Ross. I can live with that dorsal. What's next? Cross it w/a complex white?

Probably a sib cross of the two best flowers. Here's the other two that have bloomed.
This is #1. My apologies for the poor color. The flower was just opening as we were preparing to leave for Chicago, and we were in the middle of a thunderstorm, so I couldn't get any natural light. Just as I was about to try a different setting on the camera, the power went out. I figured it was no big deal as I could get more pics when we returned. Unfortunately, the flower was already fading when we returned. It is a nice chunky plant and flower, and is in bud.
This flower was smaller, but has nice form. However, the plant is not as vigorous as #1 or #3, and the dorsal did reflex slightly over time. This one is not in bud, but I have the pollen from its previous bloom.
Any suggestions or comments regarding a sib cross? Both #1 and #3 are big enough to carry a seed pod
