Alba Cymbidiums
Pure colored flowers!
Over the past thirty years, breeders including ourselves have sought to perfect the rare and unusual Alba Cymbidium. We now have these plants ready for purchase! Because, by definition, albas lack the ability to make red pigment, these plants occur in crystal- clear pure white with yellow crests, purest of yellow and sparkling greens. There is no red lip-marking or staining on the back of the sepals. The plants are particularly floriferous and the blooms seem to outlast their colored counterparts.
