No spot!

looks like an alba form.
Hope the shape improves.

It has a nice buttery color!

 

[SlipperFan]

Looks like the dorsal got caught on something.

Shape is very rough for this bloom but the lack if spots is cool.

looks like an alba form.......

That's no 'alba form' - if you look closely you will see some remaining small red dots. But I agree - it's a cool looking bloom.

Lovely subtle yellow

True and It looks like the undersides of the leaves are colored but I wonder if selfed whether pure albums would come from it?

NICE!

The red colour is at the back of dorsal and it has normal colour leaves. In Taiwan they call this semi-alba but I think this is incorrect.

yes semi-alba is totally incorrect terminology. that phrase refers to something that aside from the labellum is albinistic. this would fall into like an fma. aureum or fma. flavum category in my mind. I have a few that were sib crosses of this form from taiwan and below is a photo of my best one, it booms with the pristine creamy yellow flowers which are completely devoid of any pigmentation. The underside of the leaves, inflorescence, bract, etc are all speckled with purple but not even close to as dark as my typical wenshanense, also not even close to as light the color (pure green) of like, say, a bellatulum alba

i have mine all labelled as Paph. wenshanese fma. flavum

That is AWESOME!
I happily keep the thread plant to see what happens with the shape later. Then see if its worth selfing to get 'albas'.
