Your plant looks great. Catts are nice, soon you will have a bunch :)

It is amazing that such a nice walkeriana can be found at Lowes! I am excited about mine!

Thank you for your kind words. Have to confess... Last month I went back to Lowe's and bought two more Catt seedlings. :blushing:

It's neat that a box store would have orchids with name tags and so healthy too.

Looking forward to watching yours grow!

You guy's are so lucky to be able to find nice orchids like this at Lowes.

Okay, I pulled the trigger. Coincidently I had just put in an order to Hausermann's this morning so I called and added the walkeriana. They have the alba. I spoke to them on the phone and they recommended the 3.5" as blooming size so it was $25 plus shipping. She said "I haven't seen any blooms yet but it's plenty big enough." We'll see!

Here is the link:
Orchids By Hausermann: Cattleya walkeriana (Compact Grower)

I repotted my little bag baby into a 2" ceramic pot with leca as media:

Subrosa, that is a really nice one! Looks great!

Lady Meera, I love Hausermann's! I cannot wait to see what they send you. I have had to call them before and add to my order...a few times. :)

I agree. Don't give up hope. Maybe someday yours will have them, too.

No pics right now, but all 3 of mine have new shoots and/or roots growing.

I still have not decided on mounting one of the potted ones, or whether to just leave them both in the pot. I need to look at possible mount wood pieces I have and decide if they would be a good fit for one of my potted ones.

Anyone here grow C. walkeriana mounted? If yes, would you recommend a mount straight on bare wood, or with a sphagnum pad tied over the roots? Many of the walkeriana mounts I've seen online are just roots growing on bare wood, which is how I am growing my (very happy) Brassavola 'Little Stars'

The mounted walkeriana I received from Andy's has a very thin type of moss (not sphagnum) under the roots and not much of it. Most of the roots are already beyond where the moss is. Hope that helps.

Your Plant looks good,Subrosa
Good Luck
And good Luck to every one ,see who has blooms to show us first.
