"Albino: by botanical definition, a plant that lacks the possibility to produce anthocyanin pigments ..... Therefore, a plant correctly designated as an albino will not show any red or brown colour but can very well be green, yellow, white or any combination thereof. As soon as any shade of red occurs in any part of the plant, the specimen is not an albino" (Braem, Charon, Öhlund: The Genus Paphiopedilum, 2nd Edition, p. 44. Dehra Dun, 2016).
Braem gives the following description of P. fairreanum fma. bohlmannianum: "This is a well-known albino, which was originally described as P. fairreanum var. bohlmannianum in July of 1942. It is often erroneously referred to as 'P. fairreanum var. album' in horticultural circles. The flowers however are not white, but yellow to yellowish-green with darker green veining. There are several different clones of this true albino. The plants are usually smaller than those of the typical form and rather difficult to grow. Unfortunately, plants have been awarded as "var. album" by the American Orchid Society [so much for judging! Jens] and were described (though invalidly) as Paphiopedilum fairreanum var. flavum (Orchid Digest, 42 [4]: 151-158 [1978])".
As to whether Djthomp's very beautiful flowers (remember the flowers?!) adhere to Braem's description, would depend on the exact colour of the veining on the staminodal shield: if the darker part of this veining is made up of only very, very dark green, we're home free; if any kind of red/purple contributes to the darker coloured parts, we have left the realm of bohlmannianum. But as it is such a close run, I think one would have to give the plant and flowers a closer inspection with the bare eyes and in natural light!
