Great clone Zainal!

I have been very lucky with my walkeriana var. coerulea but the shape of its flowers is not as good as yours. I have heard that virtually all coerulea varieties of walkeriana have poor flower shape. I like it anyway though.

Not only walkeriana but happened to nobilior too, the shape exactly like a star is not attractive and I noticed with some amount of fertilizer the flower will improve base on observation maybe I'm wrong.

Wow...I always like this when you post it.

However, i dont know where to get this..the nursery in dengkil dont have them. Maybe his collection of species is not available anymore.

Possible too, so sad apparently the plant is slow growing as compared to skinneri, I wish one day your dream will come true.

I picked up a walkeriana 'Edward' last month from a vendor who spoke at our society meeting. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like some day. Will be another year if not 2 I suspect.

Wow that great usually if the pseudobulb is more than 2 inches basically the plant is ready to show off his beauty, well fingers crossed for you Leigh all the best.
