Question
Hi Wayne King,

I'd like to ask you about the "alba" version of orchids.  I was told that most of orchids have alba version rather than any other colors.  Is that true?

Thanks for always enlightening me.

Answer
It's difficult to making sweeping generalizations, but, in my experience, I am inclined to believe that all species do have alba forms.  Usually, they are rare natural mutatios but, because some find them quite attractive, they tend to be artifically propogated and are much more common as horticultural varieties.
