Looking for Cat walkeriana's

[ericNC]

Could anyone give me some sources for walkeriana? I'd love 'Pendentive' or tipo. Occassionally there is one on an ebay auction, but I haven't won. I have nothing to trade since I'm just re-establishing my collection, but willing to purchase. Eric

I have a two different clones, one has an HCC the other is from H&R both are semi albums. I'll have to look for pictures then post for you. You can tell me if you're interested in one or both.

I have 'Pendentive' but it is not big enough for me to get a division of for you. It is in bud, I will be posting a pic of it in a week or so. I too love walkers and have a few in my collection

Thanks. Where are you located? Are you a hobby-ist or is this a business for you? Thanks for your reply. EricNC

Walter Off and his son David from Waldor Orchids have quite a few walkerianas clones. I would guess they had 'Pendentive' and others that may interest you.

Their website is new, and I doubt the walkerianas are listed, but they have them. You could call during hours and ask. Tell 'em Ty sent you.

Check the Orchid Mall, there is a list of plant suppliers and what type of plants they 'specialize' in.

why do you want Pendentive? It looks nothing like walkeriana.

 

[ericNC]

Really?

H&R has some walkerianas that I've purchased and they seem very healthy my 'Estrella Da Colina' x semi alba is in bloom right now and it looks amazing. I agree with Chris. I've been told not to get the 'Pendentive' as it is not a true walkeriana.

There are some South American Vendors that come tot he States once or 2X per year...they have nice Walkers. If you preorder they can ship to you from the show. Redlands show is in May and they will be there.

From a historical perspective, I think having 'Pendentive' in a walker collection is important

I have the excel file from a guy from brazil who has a large list of brazilian plants, and there are a ton of walkerianas on it. I'll probably be ordering some sophronitis from it; there are also oncidium limminghei on the list, that are very cool plants. I have one I bought from andy's orchids a while back that has nearly 20 growths; maybe flowered it four times (a few more times but some buds blasted) very mini and very cool! http://www.cnyos.org/vstfiles/vstpsylim.html (plant also goes by the name psychopsiella limminghei)
I can email the list to anyone if they would like

He's wrong. NO ONE who knows anything about Brazilian catts considers 'Pendentive' a hybrid between walkeriana and nobilior.
