Very nice. Is a known cultivar?
Thanks. Its clonal name is "esplendor".
This walker is exactly what I've been looking for every time I troll the internet! Do you
mind revealing where you found this beauty?

I got it from Linda @ Orquidario Americana.
it is beautiful.
What makes it a 'flammea'? or is it a flammea selfing?

At least in the USA (Brazil might have more refined terminology) the flamea form means there are lines of color with blushing at the end of the petals.
Here is a photo from today after it has colored up a bit more.

Very nice clone!!!!Not the easiest species!
Wonderful clone... and well flowered! Your last photo should make it clear to anyone, why it can carry the epithet 'flamea' with pride! 
The name of the origin of this plant is in South America? I don't quite understand Linda@Orquidario Americana.
This the most perfect walker I've ever seen!

Beautiful. Any scent?
Brazil has amazing cattleya species clones for sure.

Like most walkeriana it has a very powerful scent. It is sweet and floral, with a faint amount of what smells to me like a blown out candle.
Where are you located?
Northeast USA (why I grow under lights).
How long did plant take to establish from import? Looks like in medium bark?
It's been about 8 months. Luckily it arrived just as it started rooting from new growth.
It's in medium bark. My walkers have been loving lecca so when the bark is bad in a couple years I will switch it over.
What might anyone think of a walker mounted on cork with either sphag. or perhaps something
else?
else?
I have some walkie divisions from Orquidário Americana too and they are growing in leca with tree fern on top. They seem to be establishing well since November arrival. I think two might be in spike.
The issue with mounting is that you need high humidity which indoor growing doesn’t get. They grow well in GH on wood piece inserted in pot.
