Rhycholaelia digbyana 'Mrs. Chase' AM/AOS
love this species. wonderful intense lemony fragrance and that lip! I divided it this winter and both pieces bloomed at the same time. Awarded way back in 1970, original division.

Sweet! I have the same clone, too small to bloom. Looking forward to it! Congrats on yours!
(Oops i lied! I checked back and neither of the two digbayana i have are 'mrs. chase'!)

Hi just picked up a selfed seedling of the cultivar from SVO's second 2023 cattleya release. SVO lists this cultivar as an alba.

Based on the photo it does seem to be an alba. Not much different, just no red inside the throat

I'm not sure Mrs Chase is an alba. The leaves are quite red-tinged with good light. I have to look at the flowers again and look at some old photos I took.

The plant is showing no pigment anywhere, so it is either an albescent or an alba. I will have to take a close look at the flower next time it blooms.
