The orchid in the photo is Cattleya trianae 'alba JEM'. I'm not too certain about the varietal name, but the flower is not actually an alba form. I would guess it to be a very light coerulea (blue) form that fades to white. I tried to find a reference to it on the internet, but no luck. This orchid has been growing outdoors happily and seems to tolerate our winters. The plant is specimen size, so I hope to see a much larger bloom the next time it blooms.
