Zygopetalum maculatum

[brasphrag]

This one is quite different in lip color, more white then usual. It is a high land one from Pedra do Baú - Campos do Jordão city , São Paulo state.
This is the first spike opening flowers.

That's really a nice plant: The lip isn't curling like so many of them do.
