Default 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

I don't see any Cochleanthes candida at all. I think that this species is more correctly called Warczewiczella candida nowadays, according to Patricia Harding's book "Huntleyas and Related Orchids". If there is, it's hard to detect.

I see Pescatorea, especially with the recurved edges of the lip and the prominent ridges on the callus.

I see Cochleanthes flabelliformis (there's some faint striping on the lip).

Not sure about a true Chondrorhyncha. The only thing that could give this away are the recurved petals and dorsal sepal.

It doesn't look like a primary hybrid, just in case you wanted to know. I don't know how complex it is.

I can understand the confusion with this plant. The sorting of genus names within the Huntleya clade is so messy that they're being handled through genetic identification.
