Stanhopea nigroviolacea semi-alba?
I bought this plant a number of years ago as an unbloomed seedling of what was supposed to be Stanhopea nigroviolacea. While it certainly appears to be that species (at least to me), the distinctive colors of that species are lacking in this one's flowers. I don't know what else to call it other than a semi-alba variety of Stanhopea nigroviolacea.
Oh, and being that I'm colorblind, would someone mind telling me what colors are in the bloom, please? Thank you!
Steve

Thanks, everyone, for your comments.
Dea, thank you for the color description. I can see the light pink--but greens give me trouble, so I appreciate you identifying the lime green.
Subrosa, the fragrance is strong, and exactly like the standard-flowered variety of the species (a little overpowering up close, but very good from a three foot plus distance).

Wonderful 'sport' - forget about semialba and give it a good clonal name!
A real stunning bloom!
