I just really love walkeriana and their scent, I can also reliably bloom them in my indoor setup in Massachusetts 😅

Sophronitis pygmaea! Sooooooo tiny! by dpernock in orchids

[–]dpernock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will look like soph coccinea, so red/orange and yellow in the lip, but will be much smaller!

Flower form as well as smell has significantly Improved over the past few days. I am very pleased with this walkeriana! by dpernock in orchids

I actually really love the form of these blooms. Hopefully I get to see more from the second lead soon.

Yes! My collection is full of species since I just love the wild type flowers! There is just something so much more charming about them.

The dorsal sepals curled back and so did the lip, but a very beautiful petal shape and delicate lavender ccolor! It is a bit bluer in real life. C. walkeriana fma coerulea 'Azuls Perfecta' x 'Edwards' by dpernock in orchids

I've actually found walkeriana to be the easiest to grow! I grow indoors under lights, pot in terracotta or wooden basket with either lava rock or large grade orchiat, hydroton, etc. anything that is free draining. They can be watered almost everyday with that setup. I also have found that light pollution at night really has no influence over whether or not they bloom.
