Cattleya walkeriana var. caerulea

This is a seedling flowering for the first time. These are good caerulea flowers and will improve a little in the future flowerings when the plant is larger and stronger.

Stunning as always, Mauro - both the growing and the photography. I splurged out on two of these little guys, a coerulea and a semi-alba, and am (sort of!) patiently awaiting both of them to bloom.

For a first bloom thats great indication of better blooms to come
Where do you get all your seedlings, friends, fellow growers- connections ?

Ah, fine choice, fine choice! Walkeriana semi-alba is a fascinating orchid, you will see!
And yes! Patience! How patient we have to be in this hobby!!

They already show what they come for, Soonix, but it is normal that the subsequent flowers improve a little!

A little of everything, Suzie. I have friends with whom I trade plants, I know several fellow growers across the country that also like exchanging pieces and there's always the commercial nurseries.
