 Yes, Carl, it is not an alba, it is an albescens. The name on the photo is in very little letters, but it is possible to read 'albescens' there, I guess. And I agree, it is possible that the Laelia briegeri parent is my plant, because both - Lc Lemon Creme and my L. briegeri -came from the same nursery.
And just as a complement contribution, in Cattleyas and Laelias yellow and green are allowed in alba varieties.

I didn't know it either. In any event, I would give up a lot to own either the L briegheri or the Lc Lemon creme.
