Leptotes bicolor, var alba
This plant belongs to my co-tenant. This is the first blooming of a small plant, which originated at Piping Rock.
The flower is large and fully open (some bicolors are a bit 'cuppy'), so we selfed it, in the hope of propagating this fairly rare variety.

The majority of species come in alba forms. However, as alba is a recessive trait, you do not see a lot of them.
