forma virescens is this because of the shinny leaves??


Nice job Hakone

 

[Hakone]

the bloom is green (albino )

 

[slippertalker]

Perhaps it's albinistic?

Careful now.

It's a special colony of jackii, there are a couple dozen/hundreds plants coming out every year from the wild. Unfortunately, one has to see it in bloom to be sure it is an 'albino'. So far I have seen only one true alba. All the others had even 1 small dot at the base of the petal, or one line on the staminodium... Despite the perfectly green leaves.

Can you show pictures of the full plant, showing both underside and top side of the leaves?
