I have a white or more correctly cream Veltheimia bracteata that was a chance seedling that I grew from the rose coloured specimens and it regularly produces very good crops of seed that all germinate quite readily without any special treatment. However not surprisingly, as it is a first generation 'hybrid' or what ever you might call it, it only produced about 10% white or cream next generation plants. I have yet to carry out investigation upon pollination between members of this new colour strain.
