Catasetum pileatum var. album

[Bruno De Toni]

Impressive display, really beatifull. Why do you name it album ???. As far as I know the white variety is the true pileatum, actually here it is called 'flor de nacar' (in english would be something like this: mother pearl flower). The inner part of the shell resembles very much the labelum of the white pileatum. By the way if you compare this flower arrange with the other plant you posted last week you may say that these two pileatums are different and not only for the color but for the number of flower and the way they are displayed in the spikes.
