This has to be the most mericloned plant in history, lol.
I fortunately obtained a piece (at a rather large cost), of a division of one of the very first mericlones ever released.I also have a tetraploid version (4N) which I am using in my current breeding program.
All in all, which ever plant you aquire, I find it easy to grow, producing multiple leads and spikes which last well.
Cheers

Very interesting. The first time I saw Cambria was a picture in a book I received as a gift when I got into orchids. It was a 'Lensings Favourite' and I immediately fell in love with it. I have been looking but have not seen any vendors in the US selling it so far. I keep looking from time to time.
Thanks for sharing this little bit of info.
