I wonder what happened? It may still put out a new growth from the bottom so do not despair yet.

When this happens I go back, read the growing information, and try to figure out what might have been the cause:

The plant has been in the same location. We have been having a very hot couple of weeks and that probably caused the problem. It is indoors but there is no air conditioner only a fan. I have even reduced some of my lighting due to the heat. I pulled the plant back away from the window.

Walkerianas can grow pretty warm so not sure it was the heat... Mine was out in 100+ the other month for a hot spell and it's new growth didn't cease (it's been mid 90's here and there for the past month)... however... I looked at it one day maybe a couple months ago and out of the pot a gazillion ants were running in and out of pot!
I depotted and sadly it didn't have much roots (I'm guessing I watered it too much when it was 40 degree weather, I was at Cal orchid where I got it the other weekend and they told me not to water it next to at all in winter. and not a unusual story, growing things in pots remains a challenge for me...)
So I trimmed all the bad roots, which left only 2 good roots, and mounted it on a piece of cork. The new growth has continued to grow and it just formed a new root, knock on wood this continues... and by the way it gets some direct morning light, although since it's been hotter I just keep it just a tad bit shaded. I think last year I kept it in too bright sun. Every grower I've seen it at lately appear to have it in about 60% shade.
Knowing it'll be yet another year before a bloom on mine, just ordered a coerulea form BS size should get it hopefully this coming week LOL

Not sure it was temperature related, unless there was zero airflow... Both my mounted walkeriana & potted are outdoors and we've been hovering near 95-100° the past few days, root tips look good and new growths are pushing on the potted plant. When & how often are you watering? I've been hitting my plants in the early morning (pre dawn) and again at dusk or shortly after.

With this heat I have been spritzing the roots daily with rain water.

You guys are all making me want a Cattleya walkeriana so bad! I was watching one on ebay and someone else got it, because I missed the end of the bidding. There is an alba at Haussermanns that is pretty, also. I have been wanting a new catt and have been undecided about unifolate versus bifoliate, and I really want a prolific bloomer. I'm not even sure if there are any catts that bloom more often that once a year.
But this Project has me wanting a Cattleya walkeriana. Now I just have to find one!
