Phragmipedium klotzcheanum semi-alba

[Phrag-Plus]

The white is beautiful....really beautiful! However, the photo with 2 flowers shows the one in the backgrownd with a green pouch. So, is the white from the fact that the flower has aged a lot? Does the green fade to white?

I agree with Rick H. This colour is more like var. albescens. Variety semi-alba specifically refers to white, colourless sepals and petals; but, with a coloured lip. This flower is the oposite of that. It's got no or little colour in the lip and more colour in the sepals and petals. The variety albescens is a much more accurate name.

This is a gorgeous and unique flower...!
I first thought semi-alba could be the right term but after verification, I'm agreeing with the definition here...

Oh that's a cutie! So delicate in both stature & colour. I think I could find room.

What a dainty little sweetie! I agree with many that it's quite desirable!
