Cattleya mossiae, schroederae and Jocasta
Here is an example of parents and progeny. Top left is mossiae. To its right is schroederae. At the bottom is Jocasta (mossiae x schroederae). The schroederae is in first flower and should improve in size and form on subsequent flowerings.

Really beautiful. Totally agree about family shots. These three put up a great account of colour variations and patterns. These three combined is an orchid show in itself hehehe.
Thanks very much Bayard for showing these photos.

Beautiful! I think I'd have a tough time telling the mossiae from the Jocasta if you put them in front of me and didn't tell me which is which! Is there a fragrance difference?

Yes, the Jocasta definitely takes after its mossiae parent. With these two parents, I would imagine that the scent is phenomenally good. It should be an easy grower and reliable bloomer too. Congrats on the flowers. All of them are outstanding.
