Waldor Awarded Division 16.5cm NS. This is a spectacular flower. Every time it blooms it takes my breath away! It has a slight flare that didn’t photograph well

UPDATE: Two more flowers opened.

Your Pamela Hetherington a parent. A wonderful hand dealt from the deck of genetic cards. Size, shape, and color. I read the Waldors got 3 flowers and 17.5 cm HS on the most recent 89 point AM so you can make it even more stunning. You are growing very well!

Thanks! But honestly, it’s one of those that sort of grows itself! I separated the flowers so they’d present well, but it did the rest! Just a gorgeous flower.

I guess it’s now an Rlc. Rather than a Blc. I can’t keep up and confuse that change with Lc. becoming C. Oh well!..

Leslie, here is Waldor’s history of the plant:
“(Pamela Hetherington `Coronation' FCC/AOS x Orglade's Full House `Hawaii' AM/AOS) This plant was a select seedling from the famous Stewart Orchids. It came into our collection through the purchase of an old collection 10 years ago. We exhibited it for AOS judging with 18 huge flowers on a beautiful plant grown in a 12" pot. Very vigorous grower.”
