    Default Phal. lueddemanniana f. ochracea

    This one smells like jasmine and is the real thing. True ochracea seem to be hard to find.

    Susan, if this is really a true and pure Phalaenopsis lueddemaniana, then this is no Phalaenopsis lueddemaniana var. ochracea, but an albinistic one, which is much rarer! Ochracea's lip is suffused with purple-pink and the markings are ochre-coloured (hence the name), not pale yellow. Now you got me envious...
