Does anyone have any info on this creature? If the internet is to be
believed, it does not exist...no mention of one anyway. I am not
asking about topperi, the 'green form' of kolopakingii. I think I
have true alba form blooming in my greenhouse and I find it hard to
believe that I have the only one ever seen.- Hide quoted text -

I found an email reply in my email this morning. Apparently an alba
was awarded a CHM in Atlanta in April. You AOS judges should be able
to confirm this. I also hear that Koopowitz is writing it up for the
next issue of Orchid Digest. The scuttlebut is that the man who got
the CHM had several of them bloom out of a batch of topperi seedlings
and may have already dispersed a few to some Paph breeders. I don't
know if this is sensative info or not; conscidering who sent it to me,
I don't know why they didn't post the answer here themselves.
