Aaron and Michael
just checking specimens registered for mt majura as Leuco albicans var albicans and Leuco albicans tricolor.
Now this is a hard one if that photo was taken from one plant specimem as 2 flowers have white bracts only indicating tricolor, and 3 have yellow inner bracts indicating albicans.
Happy New Year

From my reading, var. tricolor can have yellow inner bracts which fade to white as they mature. The white bract flowers in this photo are more mature than the others. I think there was a description of this on an ANBG web page.
