Ross, I'd say that yes, it is a good candidate for a window. For you to have a better idea, this particular plant is 13cm high and 11 cm long (four pseudo bulbs). It is true that some plants of this species can be a little higher than this, but not much more.

Your picture is very stunning - I could almost smell the fragrance!
Dave, winter nights are cold here where I have my grh (940m above the sea level); these very low temps generally occurs in the dawn and for a few hours only, but are enough to cause serious damages to buds. Cold waves coming from the South Pole hit my area with intensity during the winter months. Higher areas in my State can easily reach temps as low as 4ºC negative.

Oh my!
That is just lovely, Mauro!

Walkeriana is one that I do not yet have in the collection. With this particular species, I want to be able to see the actual bloom on the plant when I buy it. There seems to be a very large number of varieties around and I want one that makes me go

Thanks for sharing yours...it gives me hope for finding that "perfect" one

Don't give up, Susanne! And when you find the one and have it in bloom the smell will take you to heaven!!

Tindo, walkerianas are a problem; when you start with them there's no return!
