Cattleya walkeriana

[Rosim_in_BR]

Wonderful perfume, as always with Cattleya walkeriana. Some people classify this as variety rubra but... well, I think the color should be a little darker to be said rubra. All my walkerianas are planted in clay pots; the media I use is a reddish moss available here. I use it straight, or sometimes mixed with tiny balls of white styrofoam (I scratch them off large pieces) in a proportion of around 80% moss-20% styrofoam.
