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

It's neat that a box store would have orchids with name tags and so healthy too.
Looking forward to watching yours grow! |

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:

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.
