Default Cattleya leopoldii var. semi-alba 'Waianá'

Here's another species I like very much. The plants become large, yes, but the flowers are irresistible! This is what is called semi-alba because it lacks the purple/brownish regular color and also the spots. Calling it semi-alba can sound a little strange, but to my knowledge the other possibility would be variety lisa (spotless), which is not used when the segments are green. Wonderful fragrance!!
Just for comparison, the third photo shows the type.
