Cattleya jenmanii alba
 

This one bloomed a month early this year. Probably due the the cold snap a few weeks ago. The fragrance is almost overpowering.

Wow! Gorgeous!

Really nice alba. Ok you can stop now with the great photos - totally jealous! Just jokes! Awesome growing!

Beautiful alba! Where did you pick this one up?

Beautiful,I love it
I guess I should get an Alba too
My jenmanii bloomed very early this year too - in August
In past years it always bloomed in October.

Great photo's! It's even prettier in person!

Thank you all for your comments!

I'm getting close to running out of new photos of want is in bloom. :(

Steve, I got it from Harry at H&R about 4 years ago. How time flies... After he posted one out of a cross between two colored jenmaniis I promptly contacted him and was able to get one. It wasn't cheap but well worth it.

All I can say, is good luck on your quest. It took me several years to find one that would not break the bank getting it.

Maybe I should concider selfing it one of these years...

That is a beauty! Thanks for sharing it!
I like growing seedlings as you can get a really good orchid cheaper than you would if it was blooming size. That is how I grow most of my orchids. :)

I know what you mean. This one was almost blooming size when I got it. Its sibling was excellant that bloom out earlier. Since albas are so hard to find its was not cheap, but I did not have to give and arm and a leg either.

Lovely, I wish I could smell it.
