C. Walkeriana 'abc'

Got this one from SVO a few years back. It has been a vigorous grower.

Very nice

Love it! I've always considered buying a walkeriana but I'm scared of how rambling they are. Glad yours seems to be doing great! Love the subtle colors and patterns

You are right, they are a PITA if you try and grow them in a pot so grow it in a hanging basket.

I would live to grow plants in baskets or mounts but my humidity is usually 10-20%. It's a wonder I can grow anything at all but cattleya are incredible that way.

For you have a lot of walkers?

They certainly do "walk" but are more compact than most other cattleyas. Part of why I like them is because I can have 20 flowering sized walkeriana and nobilior under a single high output led fixture. Here is the plant before bloom in a 6'' pot

Beautiful! Such an odd time to bloom!

Artificial lights will do that.
