P. violacea var. Indigo x P. equestris alba - what to expect?

[FairyInTheFlowers]

Hmm. . . It depends on whether the violacea is a true Norton indigo, or one of the regular coerulea varieties that are a pretty pale blue. If it is a Norton, I agree that it would be in various shades of lavendar to light purple, and that also depends on which is pod and which is pollen. If it is a standard coerulea, then I would be expecting some very light lavendars to near white flowers. I definitely think you should get one!

The problem is, I have no idea... All I have to go by are the pictures on the vendors page and the probability of those photos showing the actual parents is not that high. Here's a link: Phal. violacea var. Indigo x Phal. equestris var. alba - Orchideen der Schwerter Orchideenzucht

Oh, found another interesting primary hybrid but this time between Phal. violacea coerulea and Phal. equestris blue (coerulea)! Does this hybrid have a name?

There is a good chance (a very good one) that those two are the parents, and that is definitely a Norton violacea. So lighter lavender tones can be expected.
