Chondranthes parentage search
Well, I hope I am in the right forum!
This plant is labeled Chondranthes Candida 'Cole' - I have not been able to find this cross registered in either wildcatt or orchidwiz, and hoped somebody had come across it and could enlighten me.
Chondranthes = Choncrorhyncha x Cochleanthes.
Interesting, both genera have a species called candida - but hoping that these are the parents is a loooong shot!
Googling produces a few hits of other people who own either this plant or something crossed from it, but nothing on the parents.
Any clues? It is pretty enough (in a big, honking way), and blooms very regularly. Photos attached - it has gotten large now that I kind of have a handle on best culture (soggy and shady). The wind does a job on it, but it is happy with our (so far) 2' of rain this month.
Cheers - Nancy
