All my plants on that order were great except this little guy looked worse for wear and maybe got smashed in shipping. Here are the pictures from that day and then from today, it's still not pretty yet:

C. walkeriana 'SVO' 4N x C. walkeriana 'SVO Best' 4N

I am anxious to see the mounted one from Andy's, maybe I will get another.

The new growth looks good, and the roots seem to be coming along nicely. When did you repot it?

Thanks, I repotted right when I got it.

I do believe I read that last summer when I was considering getting my walkeriana. I have the same ones as wintergirl from SVO. But when mine came with other plants of course, Fred had sent me an extra walkeriana. It was smaller than the one and when I re-potted it there were 2 plants in it. So I have 3 all different sizes. The smallest one I dried up it's first new growth as I wasn't watering it enough. I now water both small one almost every day. I re-potted the largest one in Feb.

All are in bark mix and all have a new growth. When I got them all were close together but now my largest is getting long between psb. I wish it would not do that.

Also I still may get another one. Pics of when I first got them with a nice fat psb now they are thinner as I always under water I'm trying harder.
