C walkeriana flamea 'Divina' & 'Gloriosa'
Some early C wallkerianas are starting to bloom. These are a few early ones. These two are divisions of select plants originally from Brazil. fma flamea 'Divina' is a small" tipo with excellent flame tips on the petals. 'Gloriosa' has an open shape but has a fine dark mid rib on the petals and sepals.

Thank you everyone. It is the beginning of the blooming season ... only a few are in bloom right now. But I see several dozen flower spikes starting to emerge. From late October to late December, many more will initiate and start to bloom.
Then from mid January through April or May, the same plants will bloom again. (in their habitat they bloom once a year, but they bloom twice here). It's a beautiful sight with so many color variations and they have a wonderful fragrance also.

Beautiful. I have recently purchased one of this walkeriana flamea gloriosa x divina, and I am glad to see how its parents look like. I am hoping for it to bloom maybe next year.
I suggest you post all of them in the Orchids Root website since these three (C. walkeriana flamea 'Divina' & 'Gloriosa', Divina, and Gloriosa) are not listed there. It would be a great addition.

Wow this is an old thread.
Unfortunately, as beautiful as it is, "divina" is not a great parent from the examples I have seen of its progeny.
