Mystery orchid tree is showing it's colors...

[gixrj18]

Well, last year my grandmother gave me some seedlings from some orchid trees that her, and my late grandfather grew. Two of the pots contained two seedlings each, and another had a single seedling. I gave one of the double pots to my mom, and I planted the other double one in my front yard....the single one is still in a pot in my backyard. My grandmother said that the double ones were two different colors growing side by side (she was almost positive), but she wasn't sure which were which. Well, mine got a little frost damage on the leaves last month, but is coming back strong with a full canopy of buds. The tree is only about 4' tall, and about 4' in diameter. I say "tree" because the two that I planted (side by side), have been tightly wrapped together since day one. Now that the trunk is about 3"-4" in diameter, it looks like a corkscrew....the one tree is actually two trees twisted (and grown) together. Yesterday, the first few flowers showed their colors....or should I say lack thereof. To my surprise....it's an alba! Now I'm anxiously waiting for a bud on the other limb to open, so I can see what my other color is. This tree will grow as big as 30'-40' tall, and the canopy gets completely full of flowers.....which aren't really orchids, but look a lot like them. Eventually, all the nooks, crannies, corkscrews, and twists will have real orchids growing in them, this was the reason for them. I have flasked plenty of seeds, so I'm sure this tree will end up full of them.
