Restrepia sanguinea Walter
Peter,
This guy has global coverage! Everyone grows the 'Walter' clone here in the Bay Area, too. The 'Walter' is for Walter Teague, a local Bay Area orchidist. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "P Max" wrote in message ... Restrepia sanguinea 'Walter' Columbian. High elevation. |

Restrepia sanguinea Walter
Thanks Eric. A local guy, an hour down the road, set up Warrnambool Orchids
in approx 1990. To do so, he travelled the world and assembled a great quantity of some of the best pleurothallids, odonts and other genera that you could wish to see inc. Drac vampira 'Walter', 'Cow Hollow' 'Hawk Hill', hirtzii 'Pui Y' and other renowned plants. I know that he paid several visits to the San Fran heart when hunting and gathering and hence our orchid community has a lot of clones in circulation, that you may be familiar with, inc retsrepia sanguinea 'Walter'. We are the beneficiaries of his good efforts. Sadly, he is no longer trading in species - is now mass producing phalaenopsis hybrids for the pot plant industry instead - as it pays better.
