Cattleya mossiae usually can hold its head of blooms up without much support (not quite to the same ramrod soldier stance as the spike of C. warscewiczii, but respectably close). Its hybrids, on the other hand, often have very heavy blooms that need some assistance with displaying them if you want to view them "head on." The nice thing is that your hanging stanhopea-esque flower spike will last a heck of a lot longer than any real stanhopea's could ever hope for.
