It is a nice walkeriana, Cecily, but is it the photo or the flower has some color?

It has a very faint chartreusse blush along the side lobes and onto the midlobe that fades as the flower ages to the barest hint of ice green. Perhaps not alba vera, but....

I did actually tweak the photo a bit to make it more visible. it's hard to catch the pale colour against the white without prfect light, and it's been overcast, lately...

It's gorgeous. That flower looks like an angel in flight. Great growing.

Thanks, Cj. I was looking more carefully at your flower and noticed that the tip of the petals apparently show signs of pelory. Did you noticed the same behavior in previous bloomings (in case positive you probably have an alba peloric)?

I dunno about pelory...the big notch on the left petal is actually mechanical damage, but it does regularly have pretty significant ruffling around the petal edges.
