Frdemetr, can you send me please a photo of the flower column by its side...I think your alba is not true lueddemanniana but I have to check before put it as something else containing some lueddemanniana

Please remember me by Private mesage to check the photo
Jan

Hi Jan!

I hope I have time to pic the flower, 'cause lueddemannianas are short-living and I'll be travelling 'till sunday!

Them don't worry... look if it have noticeable bi-horned anther cap (very distinct from other unifoliates)... the thing here is that your alba-plena don't have well developed side lobes (something odd for lueddemannianas), and also have to much fringed edges and the lip is to much "tonge" shaped (instead of round or squared)... also two things odd for lueddemannianas but not odd for other Cattleyas.
