It is amazing that such a nice walkeriana can be found at Lowes! I am excited about mine!

Okay, I pulled the trigger. Coincidently I had just put in an order to Hausermann's this morning so I called and added the walkeriana. They have the alba. I spoke to them on the phone and they recommended the 3.5" as blooming size so it was $25 plus shipping. She said "I haven't seen any blooms yet but it's plenty big enough." We'll see!

Subrosa, that is a really nice one! Looks great!
Lady Meera, I love Hausermann's! I cannot wait to see what they send you. I have had to call them before and add to my order...a few times.

I agree. Don't give up hope. Maybe someday yours will have them, too.

No pics right now, but all 3 of mine have new shoots and/or roots growing.
I still have not decided on mounting one of the potted ones, or whether to just leave them both in the pot. I need to look at possible mount wood pieces I have and decide if they would be a good fit for one of my potted ones.
Anyone here grow C. walkeriana mounted? If yes, would you recommend a mount straight on bare wood, or with a sphagnum pad tied over the roots? Many of the walkeriana mounts I've seen online are just roots growing on bare wood, which is how I am growing my (very happy) Brassavola 'Little Stars'

Baker's culture in Orchid Wiz says with walkeriana it does not recommend the moss and a fairly course grooved bark works well. It says it may not become established if moss is used as it holds too much moisture. |

The mounted walkeriana I received from Andy's has a very thin type of moss (not sphagnum) under the roots and not much of it. Most of the roots are already beyond where the moss is. Hope that helps.

It does help - thanks! I may have some wood at home with moss already established and growing. I'll have a look tomorrow. |
