This cross doesn't work. Probably one (or both) plant was only "white" at human eyes, but not geneticaly albino. The flower is small, a little bigger than a L. lundii flower, and has a soft pink color. I'm frustrated, 'cause I expected an albino flower

I think it looks really pretty even if it's not an albino. It looks like a light purple tint to it which is nice and delicate.

I've got room for it, Frederico.

Hi friends!

This is the first seedling to bloom. I bought some seedlings of this cross, and my intention was to use it to cross with a big flower albino hybrid, intending for "miniaturized" it. At least now I know that this is not an authentic albino, then I'll not to lose my time in the crossing.
Unfortunately the costs to give these plants to you would be very high! (CITES etc)
Thanks for looking!
