Blc. Oconee x C. walkeriana - Orchid Board

The column of this bloom is malformed.
The bloom is larger than that of C. walkeriana, but smaller than Oconee's. The plant itself is not tall, which looks very like Lc. Aloha Case. The fragrance smells like that of C. walkeriana.

Even though the column is mutant in appearance its very lovely. I kind of like deformities though.

Great color. Looks like it's trying to grow a moustache.

Thanks. this is a close-up image of the column. I do not know what causes it.
Hope it will do well next time.

Pheli - Very interesting, does the flower have an actual column and anther cap under the extra bit of ruffle? I've seen peloric petals and sepals but never a peloric column.

I love that walkeriana fragrance. That's reason enough to like this orchid, it's also beautiful with that big full lip. Good job.

It has a column structure, including polliana. The extra structure just circled the end of column with polliana in the center.
