C. walkeriana 'Pendentive' is an albino form of the species and Laelia sincorana 'Jose Rodriguez' has a white flower with bold pink (stripes) keels in the lip. I was looking for semi-alba Lc.

Well grown choice plants that are bloom size. Fragrant Orchid.
4 inch pot $20.00
The pod parent, BC White Wonder is (Donna Kimura x C. walkeriana). I bought this orchid plant at Kensington Orchids in Maryland and after several years of researching a source of the original cross, I could find no one who claimed to be the hybridizer. So, I contacted the RHS and ended up naming it, hence the name BC White Wonder because I always wondered who made this orchid cross. The other parent, Lc. Angel Love is just a bulletproof orchid plant. It grows nicely and puts up a very pretty head of soft bubble gum pink flowers. Blc. Mary Thorne was produced exclusively my me. I set the seed pod, did all of the lab work and when they were ready to come out of bottles, raised all of these babies in our greenhouses. When the first one flowered, it was beyond my expectations. Mary Thorne is my mother. Photo shown is Blc. Mary Thorne 'A Mother's Love'. Most of the seedlings are blooming pink as the second photo shows. Fragrant Orchid
