Default Laelia purpurata
This is a seedling showing the face for the first time. Just regular, the segments are normal for the species, but that lip is really big for that flower!

is there a hint of purple or lavender in the petals or are they pure white. You have some "to die for" purple Catt. alliance plants.

Thanks, Cirillonb!
Yes, the sepals and petals have very subtle lavender a bit difficult to capture with digital cameras!
