They just went outside for the summer. If we get a couple of cold nights, I will cover with plastic.

I grow mine under Lights

Mine will be here Saturday. I plan on growing it on my west windowsill.

Just in... Andy's Orchids have a sale on their stick mounted walkeriana coerulea. Was $36 now $27 for limited time.

Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Orchid List

Mine are all grown in the windowsill. My small ones are in an east facing window and I just moved the larger one to the west window from the south facing one. In the summer I have to move them as the sun gets higher and doesn't shine on them.

I wish I could try some outside but my wind is just so bad here.

That is a great sale! The problem with Andy's, though, is you cannot just buy one orchid...not if you are an orchid addict. I would definitely recommend the mounted walkeriana he is offering, though. It is a work of art. :)

I know I bought a few plants :) Really small ones. I debated whether I should get another walkeriana... I still could add it to my purchase as they aren't shipping until 5/17 lol.

The temptation! I always figure that for the price of shipping, adding another is a good value if it is something I am contemplating. Then again, I do tend to like multiples of favorite orchids. Just for the walkerianas, I have the unknown one, the semi-alba and now the coerula. Then there is the alba dolosa which should look similar. :)

I may just have to buy this one. I just watered my walkeriana and my newest growth has come out bent as most the other leaves have.Then it broke in half. I thought they were just bent from shipping but maybe there is something genetic or conditions aren't right. I have all those new roots, not sure about this one. I have plenty of catts and this is the only one doing this. I just repotted into clay pellets, I have good luck with seedling catts in this where I just mist the pellets when they dry out. Disappointing to wait for new growth and it turns out like this :(

I have broken off new growths. They will usually try again, don't worry. If you are worried about over all health, though, that is a different concern. :(

The ones that Andy's Orchids are selling are really healthy...good roots, multiple leads and I was very pleased with it, so pleased, I wrote to tell them so. You would be happy with what they send you if you ordered one. I usually prefer them in red lava rock and had everything ready to remove it from the mount but it just looks so good....

The bag baby has a bent growth (due to the orchid being squished in the netting) but it is healthy and seems to be straightening as it grows. New roots are starting. I discovered another tiny Cattleya in with it but didn't think it would live...it is living, too and getting roots. I am surprised and impressed with the bag baby walkeriana.
