Cattleya Heathii OR not?

[thefish1337]

The longer that US orchid sellers keep distributing "Kennys"/"The Chairman"/"Pendentive" as real Cattleya walkeriana the more our friends in Brazil and Japan will laugh at us. Its getting embarrassing that people would rather self, cross or mericlone decades old awarded plants when the genetic development in Brazil is literally decades beyond what we have here in the US. They have entire societies dedicated to just this one plant. I don't know how you can look at 'Pendentive' as a judge and tell yourself "that looks like a Cattleya walkeriana", Estrella da colina is one thing- 'Pendentive' is just cringe.
