Cattleya f.k.a. walkeriana fma. alba 'Pendentive' AM/AOS

[Phred]

Yes I think so. And I'm pretty sure I read Orchidglade was collected from the wild. Which makes Pendentive pretty much a natural plant as well.
There has been some work done but nothing concrete yet. Selfings of Pendentive don't seem to show much variation. I wonder if Orchidglade was a loddigessii x walkeriana x walkeriana?

I’ve read that paper and others. I’d like to find a piece of Orchidglade. I have a piece of Pendentive and a couple mericlones of it. I made a cross with it the last time it bloomed and the pod is a couple months away from sending it to the lab.

I crossed Pendentive with walk coerulea a few years back. This was the result....

That’s a beauty... I crossed mine to ‘SVO Passion’

Very nice. Worthy of an award, too.

This is one of my favorites, regardless of its genetic disposition. Mike, that is a lovely cross. Do you find it more robust than pure forms?

No pretty much the same. The annoying thing about them is the way they walk out of the pot so quickly. The best way is probably a large vertically hung log and mount them right at the bottom.
Other than that, walkeriana is such a great plant.

That’s so true. I’ve seen pics of walkeriana GH’s in Brazil on logs and they climb up, blooming like no tomorrow. But then I’ve also seen pics on pan clay pots doing well.

Nice outcomes as a parent. Wonder what would happened if bred onto another white with pink margins (picotee) and semi albas.

Thank you for the photos of your plant, Phred - due to the likeness, I think, my mind can rest quite at ease about the identity of my plant!
Kind regards, Jens
