    here are two walkerianas blooming, first is 'pendentive' Am/Aos.
    there seems to be some detractors of this plant who think that since it blooms from the leaf and not from a shortened bulb as other walkerianas, it is likely a hybrid.
    Am surprised that it has not been selfed yet (that I know of, has anyone seen any selfing of this plant?) and brought the progeny to show whether it is a species or hybrid.

    Second is a nice coerulia seedling from Gold Country, second bloom in past 6 months, with very decent color and form.

    I've seen about 50 of 'em. I sent good seed to Troy. I don't have any blooming size yet, though. Troy may. I sent Chris half of them after he begged for a week.

    Thanks Dale, I just registered at Troy's and saw all the stuff he has pending and put in an pre-order for a couple of compots.

    I think 'Pendentive' is a great looking flower and I cannot wait until my selfed seedlings (from Troy) are blooming sized.
