Leptotes tenuis

[JungleJo]

I've had this one for about six months. It came mounted on treefern and I've kept it that way. I've got a few other leptotes species that also are mounted on treefern and they seem to like it so I'll keep them that way until I change my mind for some reason.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if somebody could confirm if this really is a tenuis. It doesn't look like the other species that I have, but is a little bit different from other sources I've seen online. I've seen the flowers more yellowish than mine, but maybe it will come with time.

Very nice shape and sparkles too.

It seems possible that there could be some color variations:

From Wikipedia
"Leptotes tenuis is the only Leptotes species with pale green, yellowish or white flowers and lilac colored lip. It is a very small and uncommon species from southeastern Brazil"

Leptotes (plant - Wikipedia)

So green, yellow or white. Does anybody know for sure? Anybody else growing this?

I think it aligns with this one ...... click here.

It's all good there.

White (and not yellow, nor green) is the final color of this one. For a while I thought it would get more yellow, but it didn't. Still happy with it.

If I had white sparkles like that ----- I would want it to stay pristine white and sparkly - just like that one. The very slight hint of pink/violet under some lighting conditions is very nice - with the sparkles.
