Ascda. Kultana White

[CR7cristiano]

A commercial grower and friend of my had a few of these and thought I might like them so she gave me one. I lost some buds due to pest that she sprayed for prior to her giving me and probably also due to moving from a shade house environment to natural dappled light in my "vanda" tree.
This is very reminiscent of the alba form of Coerulea, although I believe it is even more white than Coerulea, so naturally I fell in love.
When i say pristine white, i literally mean crystalline blooms that to my surprise get very big; up to 5 inches across and almost 6 inches from dorsal sepal to base sepals. I only got 4 blooms this time but that's fine, just can't wait to get a full spike of flowers next time around with more blooms! Just love those twisted petals; makes them look like angels.
The plant itself is quite young and has very neat/compact leaves. I look forward to many more spikes.
Enjoy

Very, very nice! It must have gotten that diamond dusted texture from the V. coerulea var. alba in the background.

Yes they are. I am very surprised to honest. I expected smaller as they initially open and are somewhat small.

From looking at the parentage, it doesn't suggest the alba form of coerulea being crossed in this to make it. Apparently this was a unique seedling that came out pure white and has been clones since.
