    That is awesome Wendy! Is this the one that was a tiny division from JohnM? Do you have a pic of it from back then? If it is the same, you've done a hell of a job growing it. :)

    Awesome Wendy. What kind of lighting do you grow/bloom this under?

    Thanks again.

    Chris...I grow it under HID lights. Three 400 watt bulbs, one HPS, one MH and one combo bulb. It's in a clay pot but the pot is more of a 'mount' as there is not much for medium left in the pot. It's hung on an angle under/to one side of the lights and I let it ramble all over the clay.

    Beautiful plant Wendy. My one and only walkeriana flowered a few years ago and refuses to do it again

    Beautiful Wendy. I've got the same clone in bloom here, one I got from Frank Fordyce many-moons ago. Mine didn't get happy until it crawled out of the clay pot. The best plants I've seen are those attached to the outside of a large, upside-down, clay pot. Bright light with a dry Fall and you will get blooms.
