They are all excellent. Walkeriana is the favorite of all my Catts. I just love that unique growth/flowering habit.

A-15 is a popular parent in modern walkeriana crosses in Brazil. Orquideas Caliman is a well known breeder and his crosses are respected from what I can gather from online research.

A15 is top quality Brazilian walkeriana line 'Caliman' is a great A15 clone too. Br001 is a cross of two A15 great clones if I remember well. 'Carmen' is a classic looking coerulea, much like 'Edward' types. The progeny shape of this cross may be more variable. Galopeira is a tipo with a great shape. Heitor is related to Estrela da Colina and Dayane Wenzel if I remember well.

I confirmed in my notes that BR001 is the cross of two A15 clones, 'Lagoa Azul' and 'Magnificat'. Two amazing clones.

A15 is not a clone or a single plant, it's the record number of the original cross of two sibling plants named 'No.3' ('Mana'?) x 'Cinquentenario'.
