I've heard Huntleyas are rather difficult to care for and given the two I have are new I've yet to experience how true this is or isn't. May I ask how you care for yours?
Thanks for sharing, it's beautiful.

I grow all of my Huntleya in small clay pots with long fiber sphagnum moss or in slotted plastic pots with a smaller pot inverted inside the container to keep the roots aerated. The plants are kept slightly damp at all times, never drying completely, and are fertilized year round. My temperatures in the winter run 65F minimum and I try to keep the summer highs below 90F for the majority of the time. Light is similar to that used to grow multifloral paphiopedilums and smaller growing cattleyas.
I have not found them to be fussy growers, but I cannot speak for all of the species as I have only come across 5 offered for sale at this time and this burtii is the only one to flower so far.
May I ask where you obtained your H. wallisii?
