C walkeriana v semi alba 'Kenny'
 

I have a nice C walkeriana v semi alba 'Kenny' in bloom right now and in the
back of my mind I think there was some sort of controversy about the
parentage or identification of this plant. Whether its correctly
identified, or whether the award was as plain walkeriana when it was a
semi-abla, or what.

Anyone recall that?

Here is what the award description says... I don't know if that answers
your question though. I don't recall the controversy myself.


Eight well shaped white flowers on two inflorescences; sepals, petals and lip all on the same plane with petals overlapping sepals; lip white with green coloration at base of column, pale yellow in center, with fuchsia blotch at lower edge; substanceexcell
ent, heavy; texture glistening; flowers of full round form and large size for species.

Thanks Rob! Maybe I was thinking of 'Pendentive' (which is also in flower
right now, but with the maddening habit of having the sepals completely
reflexed back. Grrr.) Wish my 'Kenny' had 4 flowers per spike, wow! What a
display that would be!

Just cut and paste out of Wildcatt. My C. walkeriana "Pendentive"
never had reflexed petals though... Wish I still had that plant, I gave
it away a few years ago for some stupid reason.

They are using different key escapes for it... Not the 'windowish'
way (ctrl-c, ctrl-v), but (ctrl-insert/shift-insert). I guess that is
kind of 'emacish'... But regardless, from the detail view you can use a
drop down menu (Edit) to do cut/copy/paste, if you want to avoid arcane
keystroke combinations.

That is the ONLY way I ever copy and paste in Word, Excel, any
windows program. It was the way I learned it .. old days before
so many mouse ways were around. Also usually faster.

Kathy,

I've read somewhere that one of the C. walkeriana's floating around out
there, one that everyone has a piece of, is really a hybrid. But I can't
remember which clone!

Sorry - I know it's a tease.
