Mericlone of C walkeriana "Feiticeira"
 

It's blooming for the first time with me. It's just a clone, and I explain why it is necessary to leave this fact very clear.
C walkeriana "Feiticeira" ("Bewitched" in english) is probably the most perfect walkeriana ever found in nature. CW "Feiticeira" was overcome by plants obtained by selective breeding, but has characteristics that make it unique and desired by all orchid lovers: it is extremely unstable genetically (some say it is a triploid plant), and a poor matrix for selective breeding or hybridization. Even cloned, the genetic instability manifests itself, most of the clones (as it mine) are inferior to the matrix, and there is a documented fact of different flowers produced in the same mericlone of "Feiticeira" (!). The bad flowers produced by the descendants and mericlones of "Feiticeira" are jokingly called "hag"
The only way to have a real CW "Feiticeira", therefore, is to buy a legitimate division of the original plant, which cost much, but even very expensive!
My plant produced a flower from a common pbulb, and not from a particular flowering pbulb, which is uncommon in the CW in general and in CW "Bewitched" in particular

It's a fantastic flower, Frederico! I would probably even like one of the "hags" if I could find one. :-)

Hi Steve!

When the flower comes out not so bad (as is the case with mine!), we use the term "Camandú" (untranslatable) to designate it, rather than "Bruxa" (hag)!
