C. walkeriana & Dream Weaver

[Cheyenne]

I can remember a article from Roy of H&R in orchids or orchid digest a few years ago. If I remember correctly I think he said 'pendentive' was a hybrid and it may have even been dna tested. I will see if I can find it.

It would be good if had been tested. I note that what was C. walkeriana 'kenny' is now called C. Snow Blind 'Kenny'. Good thing too.

Love the walkeriana Roy. I grew 'Pendentive' in Florida for a decade or so before I killed it. I found it to be a reliable bloomer while I had it...the loss was due to neglect, not difficulty in keeping it.

I enjoy looking at all the Japanese walkeriana when I go to shows here. The variation is pretty remarkable and you can't help but wonder if there isn't a bit of mixed blood in some cases - not unlike the situation with Neofinetia - "ah, we'll just add a few genes of this into the mix..."

It happens across the board with orchids, "we'll just add this, no-one will notice", yeah Right, sure they won't !!!!!!
