Alba form C. maxima crossed with C. candida, both species from South America. Should be an interesting flower. Fragrant, large blooms expected. Oryzalin applied to induce polyploidy (which can result in more stable genetics/desirable traits). 

Photos are examples of the parents. Color and morphology will vary. Near blooming size (1 year).
