Default Cattleya mossiae
Unless my memory fails, this is C. mossiae growing in my greenhouse. No shows this month, of course.

Really pretty blooms. If that's truly C. mossiae (and not a hybrid), it's one of exceptionally good shape. Congratulations on the lovely flowers.

Nice one Rob. Looks like a bit is flaring in the petals, is that typical?

Very nice plant! but being very honest, it does seem way too "perfect" for a true mossiae... are you sure it is a pure one, or is it any posiibility it actually misidentified C. xgravesiana? (there are many xgravesiana outthere misidentified as mossiae!)
