I'm not sure about the name on this one, M. luteo-alba normally has yellow
on the sepals. Smells great.

Lovely Collection. Love the Den. I had one that dark and took it to
a Judging only to be told it could not be the species..... it was too
dark. They claimed it had to be a hybrid. I saw Hoosiers. It was
beautiful.

The name Den. victoria-reginae was apparently published in 1897, so I'm
guessing there's been time for a few generations of line breeding to work on
the color over the last century. Mine came from Mountain Orchids.
