Almost albino Prosthechea vespa

[Rosim_in_BR]

The orchid lover likes everything of different he/she can get his/her hands on, isn't it true? This is an albescens variety of a plant that I suppose is not well known outside my country. I also grow a completely albino variety. Prosthechea vespa, formerly known as Encyclia vespa, has comparatively small flowers for the size of the plant, as can be seen in one of the photos, but it doesn't matter. It has its own beauty. For comparison, I'm posting it side by side with the type of the species.
