Blooming now (2009-11-19)

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.
