Possibly the only Alba Mexipedium?

[DrLeslieEe]

A member brought this big plant to our monthly meeting here in Toronto.

Not only vigorous with branching spikes and keikis, the flowers showed no hint of pink in the staminode. Perhaps an alba? Wow.

I recommend selfing it lol.

Plant belonged to C&C Orchids.

I've seen a few like that. One even came out of the compots I raised from flask. I think it's just really pale, as the leaves, stolons, and stems still have anthocyanin.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Ah ok… so not that uncommon to have pure white flowers.

 

[tnyr5]

Did they mention the parentage?

 

[DrLeslieEe]

No, but I’ll ask.

Do you have pics of your ‘alba’ ones to compare? I’m curious.

For you Canadians, C&C is the distributor of Kelpak and K-Lite up there.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Yes!!! They are great people to deal with.

This is one from the batch that Anthony is referring to.
