Cattleya candida (Kunth) F.Lehm. - var. semialba
Also known as C. chocoensis or C. quadricolor (synonyms) this semi alba has just a very light shade of pink deep in the throat. The small picture at the left upper corner shows the bell shaped habit characteristic of this species.

Man, that's a lovely thing, Mauro. I'm totally out of room, but I've got to try one. Any hints on culture?

No special care, Kim . The same growing condition you would provide for C. trianae is perfect for this species too! |

What a wonderful white. Thanks for pointing out the blush deep in the throat, I missed it the first time around. A real beauty.
