My Paphiopedilum fairrieanum f. bohlmannianum is blooming early but I will take it, especially when it blooms like this.

Very nice flower but I wouldn't consider it a true alba form as there appears to be some pigment in the staminode. Very desireable non the less.
very nice, chuncky flower and well grown
WOW Darlene, such a well grown clump of plant carrying 4 flowers a the same time....you can't expect more. Very impressive ! 
Maybe you are right because you can see this 'dark' zone in all photos, maybe it's just the light in the photos ?
I don't think I have noticed that in the past. Although it's not as dark as the photos indicate, there is definitely some pigmentation there. Good eye!

Wow~ looks like it is well on its way to become a major clump soon! 
I've never had much luck with this species.

Well Darlene, THAT is impressive!!!
As you might know, I am hooked on species albino's and this one I find the hardest to maintain in a good condition. Rarely seen such a nice multigrowth plant like that. I would love to learn from you on how you grow and bloom it. I know botanically it might be disqualified as albino, but I would be happy to give such a beauty a home in my collection, with or without the little red pigment Well done!

Well done!
So, so, beautiful.... and such an incredible wellgrown clump, Darlene. Kudos for culture!
Could you maybe make a closeup or two of the staminode in natural light? Pigmentation wouldn't per se be a problem, anthocyanin pigmentation, though, would!
Wonderfully grown, love that you got 4 blooms.
Thanks all.
This plant will be going to judging over the weekend. Until then it is staying with a friend. I will take some close up natural light pictures when it comes back home.

Incredible, beautifully grown 
Stunning blooms/plant!
Very well grown. 
Sweet. Thanks for sharing.
Rightly so, not true album therefore the varietal name Bohlmaniannum is used, indicating a continuum range of alboviride to albescents (pinkish margins).
Thanks for the clarification, Leslie.
Also this plant was judged and received a CCM-84 points. All four flowers opened in time for judging.
Congrats! Please post on Judging section?Thanks for the clarification, Leslie.

I will once the plant is back home. It's still with the friend who took it for me.
