Very nice blooms.
Parents are: C Angel Bells x C Claesiana. This hybrid is a White ... "v. alba" and "v. semi-alba" would refer to species. "Semi-alba" when also used for hybrids would be a descriptive rather than nomenclature term.

Variety is 'Virgin' without 'The'. The Hawaii grower who bloomed and named the variety years ago was subjected to a lot of good natured scoldings from the ladies for his choice of variety name. Plant is from over 20+ years ago, but the shimmering white surface makes it still appealing even after all these years

Yes, March-April is the norm as well as in the Fall. Twice a year. It's about a foot and a half tall in the pot.

Probably one of the best white Cattleya hybrid with Cattleya Bow Bells.

as you can see by the photo, it opened up a buttery yellow, but, today is the second day of blooming and it's turning more white. i bought it in august, a 6" size and placed it in the almost-finished greenhouse in early october. since i've had it i might have watered it 3 times.
