Cream Beauty from J. Amand

This is labelled Cream Beauty. One scape, 29" tall, with 4 buds open. 2 leaves just poking out of a smaller bulb. I don't see anything about this cultivar in the Dutch trade. Reminds me of Green Goddess/ Bianca, but I don't remember if G.G. curved back as much as this does. The bloom is 6.5 inches in diameter. Is anyone familiar with this: or is it a generic name? The color in this photo is pretty good. Its a creamy white with a greenish back.

A photo of the scape.

That is simply *superb*!!

What a glorious color and the recurved tepals are downright beguiling! I don't think I have ever seen one quite like it.

I haven't ever heard this name before that I know of.

What a gem!

BTW--That scape looks a mile long. How tall *is* it?

{And thanks for showing a side view of the flower.}

It is a beauty, I love the recurved petals too! Scape is 29" raydio, lol, it's in the first post.

I checked plantscope.nl it's not there, nothing on google either. Too tall for a Hadeco, but there is a Sth American source and some other obscure sources in Europe.

Why does that sound right?

LOL!
