Meryclone of the awarded plant.

'Fuchs Snow' is definitely not a jenmanii for me.

The picture couldn't load on my phone TapaTalk. Perhaps you can post another pic?

To know for sure it's a jenmanii, there are qualities that all jenmaniis share:

1. Flowering season is usually Oct/Nov but on strong vigorous plants, they can send another growth to bloom again in April/May. Most of my jenmaniis do that. They always flower when growths mature on green sheaths. They root just before or during blooming.

2. They have a very distinctive fragrance that is very sweet like candy that permeates an entire room or GH especially late mornings.

3. The PB are usually tall like labiatas, skinny like warscewicziis and have a very long sheath (almost half the length of the leaves).

4. Flowers are always star shaped with upright dorsal sepal and pointed lateral sepals. Petals are usually narrow and held flat and upright. All on the same plane. This shape is usually very distinctive in this species and that was what drew me to them.

There are many plants that look like them and may have been awarded as them by mistake. Often labiatas, warneriis, gaskellianas and hybrids have been passed as jenmaniis, as a quick review of google images and awards can show. But if one grows a plant long enough to see the qualities I mentioned, it might proved to be a jenmanii after all. Since I have not grown this clone, I cannot say for sure.

#4 not always.

fuchs snow is NOT a jenmanii. true albas are EXTREMELY hard to come by. there is 4 known plants found in nature, and very little if anything has been done with them.

jenmanii has that unique strong smell, rest of things can be variable, as they are trully close to labiata /warnerii .

flowering season can help a bit, but you never know when the plant has been crossed with other.

best approach is to judge it by having the entire plant in front of you, and know how to id those subtle signs, those signs by itself might not say much by themselves , but the combination will definitely help. the scent quite is unique. and it is the strongest way to separate jenmanii from their close relative species.
