What do you think of this? It is niveum x sanderianum.

That is nice Dot. Love the colour. The petal length is pretty good too given how small niveum is. Better than I would have anticipated actually.

Unusual and interesting flowers. Sure to capitalize attention on a show table. I'd like to see it crossed back to a sanderianum.
 
Truly beautiful. Would you be able to post a pic of the entire plant to get a better comparison of the plant size vs. flower size?

How many growths is your plant?

I agree with Shiva. It's very nice; but, I'd like to see it crossed back onto a sanderianum. It'd be nice if that cross retained the white background; but, lengthened the petals and made them more like twirling "ribbons".
 
That is really nice. I have seen (godefroyae x sanderianum) and (bellatulum x sanderianum) - both had very short flower stems making the presentation awkward. It looks like niveum, with its longer flower stem really worked nicely, your flowers are well above the foliage and have the room needed to present nicely. Very interesting. Definitely a keeper.
