Blc. Lawless Walkiire 'The Ultimate'

[Bud]

One of those large Cattleya flowers that you have to see live to appreciate. More than seven inches in diameter….The rich vivid color and the contrast of the venation in the lip are just breathtaking! It is a strong grower and flowers twice per year. I got this blooming sized plant from Kawamoto orchids a couple of years ago in bud and since then it provided me with gorgeous blooms.
It is in an east facing window by the kitchen. This orchid prefers night-time temperatures to be between 55° F – 65° F. Daytime temperatures can easily reach the low 90’s without a problem. Humidifier and a small oscillating electric fan….watering once or twice a week under normal conditions…..water more when it is hotter in the growing environment. Fertilizer weekly weakly alternating with seaweed mix and worm tea mix….
Potting is done every two years as you see new roots starting to emerge from the newest pseudoblulb(s.) I use a mixture of 4 parts coconut husk chips, 2 parts #4 Perlite, and 1 part Hydroton. Also I like clay pots as they will dry out a bit faster keeping the roots from staying too wet.

Actually it is Rlc Lawless Walkure. The u has two dots above it indicating an umlate (German)or dieresis (Latin). If it's the German it's pronounced as a y. If it's Latin it's pronounced as the diphthong ae. It is not possible to tell if it is German or Latin without additional information about the namer's intentions. At any rate it is not ii.

tell that to the Kawamoto orchid seller...thats how I got my tag ...and between their tag and your corrections: I will abide with their tag spelling since they have been in bussiness more than you have ever been studying orchids...

*Molly....it would be impossible for me to take you seriously because of your series of infactions and you have been quarrelling with other members in the past....you have a reputation as a troublemaker and I refuse to even be involved in a discussion with you...you are bad news

beautiful!

I think someone copied the name incorrectly along the way (I do have some of those myself) as RHS does have it as Lawless Walküre (easy to see how that could happen in this instance)

... and let's not get into personal attacks please!

Beautiful Flower and color!
As for the "Walkuere" - Wagner comes to mind.

A Umlaut can also be formed by adding the letter "e" to the a, o or u. That's the way it was spelled before they came up with the idea for the dots above the letters. It does get confusing.

"I think someone copied the name incorrectly along the way (I do have some of those myself) as RHS does have it as Lawless Walküre (easy to see how that could happen in this instance)"

Thanks for verifying that I can read. That's not sarcastic. Apparently on internet forums it's required content.

As to the original poster here, his combative attitude about corrections is absolutely ridiculous. After all he posted the incorrect information, not me. I did not do anything except post a correction without emotion or accusation of any kind. I find this person offensive, inaccurate, and unnecessarily combative. This a formal complaint about his action.
