Cattleya walkeriana
 

Wonderful perfume, as always with Cattleya walkeriana. Some people classify this as variety rubra but... well, I think the color should be a little darker to be said rubra. All my walkerianas are planted in clay pots; the media I use is a reddish moss available here. I use it straight, or sometimes mixed with tiny balls of white styrofoam (I scratch them off large pieces) in a proportion of around 80% moss-20% styrofoam.

Wow, that is stunning, Mauro. :)

Beautiful!! I love the walkerianas. Need to put this one on my "Wish List" Thanks for the:photo: Mauro.

:shock: Stunning, indeed :clap:
And wonderfully perfumed - Life doesn't get much better ;)

Dorothy, Kiki, you should smell it! Its possible to notice the perfume far from the flowers if the wind blows in your direction!

Hi Mauro, I do not have any catts in bloom right now. I have lots of spikes, but no blooms. I so enjoy seeing pics of beauties like yours. Wish we had smellivision happening here. Maybe Marty can hook up something???? He's a bit of a genius when it comes to computer technology! :) Thanks once again.

Yes, smellivision would be great if possible!!! Who knows someday?

Wow, I didnt know that walkerianas came in that color! Good work!!

Hoping to find one of these at the Redlands show this weekend. My others have all died. :bua:

Good luck, Greenman! Hope you find it soon.
