hybrid derived from C. mossiae?
Unlike my other NOID cattleya that I finally got identified after 30 years (LC. MOONWIND ‘MT. MADONNA’ (Lc. Eva Shill x Lc. Elizabeth Off) this large white one below will always remain a NOID.
It was sold in 1980s in a garden shop in those typical 2” pots with plastic mesh (onion bag like) that are attractively packaged to the general public. No name given. Being spring blooming, white, sepals pulled back in opposite direction of petals and lip, unifoliate, super reliable bloomer, sets sheathes in August that dry/become papery in late winter and blooms in April —is it Likely a hybrid derived from C. mossiae? I’m trying to get an idea of species it would have derived from.
