Very nice, I particularly like the alba form. It'd be interesting to cross it with godefroyae fma alba for an album Estella. Don't think I've seen that yet.

Gorgeous both!
Excellent idea, but it would most likely yield normal colored flower in the first generation. Whites would show up in subsequent crosses, either in sib x sib crosses or back crosses. Someone who's more familiar with genetics could do a better job of explaining why. It has something to do with the gene responsible for suppressing color being in different locations on different species.

Nice fma. bohlmannianum.

some call me brian
do the petals on fma. bohlmannianum typically end up swept back, as the ones on some normally colored ones do?

Thanks. The regular form came form Glen Decker. I am still trying to get hold of some from the Orchid Zone strain that was bred to have the mirror dorsal and ventral sepals. The fma. bohlmannianum came from Taiwan and I only bought 2 of them.. Should have bought at least 2.. haha.
