This is an easy growing bifoliate species from Central America, occuring from southern Mexico to Costa Rica, where it is praised as its national flower.
I've heard that the bifoliate Cattleyas like a little more water than the unifoliate ones.
Despite of the long winter here lacking the light so badly the flower production was good. The tipo is the normal form with little white in the throat.
I like the glistening pure white of the alba oculata form (white with an eye).

The perfect description of your 'alba' would be "alba elegance" as that is one elegant orchid. Nice! I see that you live in SW Germany. Ich hatte Deutsch neun yahre in schule gelernen, aber so lange vorher (45 yahre vorher). How do you speak such perfect English? Greg.
