Cattleya schroederae (quasi-alba?)
Greetings guys!
After a long wait, this cutie finally opened its buds (2 days ago). I'm quite surprised with the color so far, I was expecting it to be a tipo (considering the tag didn't refer to any color variation). I cannot believe it will eventually turn pink as there's no visible undertone. There are however a few splashes of lavender on the edges of the lip on both flowers, so it isn't an alba. If anyone could provide some insight, I would be very grateful!
It is still very pretty, and probably should improve on the next flowerings as the plant gets bigger, but it doesn't scream schroederae when I look at it.
