Cattleya walkeriana - Orchid Board

Cattleya walkeriana needs no presentation, I guess... This clone is not among the best, but is not too bad too

. There has been a fever on this species here in Brazil making the price go high like a rocket, artificially in my opinion. The species has many qualities, like being small with large, well-shaped flowers, but nothing that cannot be seen on other species as well. Anyway, special clones, like 'Feiticeira' has been priced as high as US$ 1,000 a division of 4 pseudo bulbs... salty ha?

$1000.00

I guess I'll just have to keep enjoying your collection, my friend

Walkerianas are also pupular here. Most clones are from Japan and hence the prices are also high.

Nice flower Mauro! I have to say that H&R Nurseries has a LOT of really nice walkeriana clones (coerulea, sakura snowball, divina, etc) for pretty inexpensive prices. I dont know if they ship to Brazil, but you might be able to ask for some walkerianas for Christmas!

Thanks, Isurus! We have lots of walkerianas here, too - coeruleas, flameas, semialbas, albas and so on, that are not so expensive, but quality flowers accordingly have quality prices
