Interesting flower.

The green chlorophyll on the dorsal is strong. That pouch is almost the shape of the bellatulum album.

One gets a nice impression, but might we see the flower in natural light to get more of an impression what it really looks like?

Seems to stay more greenish than white. Perhaps a green form might be exciting for the future?!

time will tell

I think the green tinge will fade as the flower ages...give us an update if you can. (probably not since you did the selfing already)

Yours looks pretty flat and full for a FTB...it should get even better next time.
