Default Laelia crispa var. carnea
The flower is almost all white except for a light pink in the central lobe of the lip.

Excellent! I love the frilly curliness on the edges, it's pretty. And the very very pale yellow in the throat and pink on the lip give a nice added touch.

Camille, many people here don't include it in their collections saying the flowers are too 'skinny' and curled, but that's exactly what makes it so beautiful!!

That is a stunning white! I just picked up a seedling of L. crispa and am assuming that care for this is similar to purpurata. Is this true? Thanks!
