One thing I've found with walkeriana is that it can always use more light! I would move it closer because getting it to grow is great, but getting it bloom is even better. These guys will not bloom in dark conditions.

As for the intentions of the grower, if he/she is a serious grower then yes, they probably sold it becaue the shape is not all that great by show standards. I don't think the flowers showed any improvement on either of the parents, which are pretty nice coeruleas. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy the flower and that amazing walkeriana scent though!
