Tindo, that's the (for me) only deffect of C. mosiae. It is very common that the dorsal sepal goes back so much, that the flowers look a bit weird, compared to other Cattleyas... |

Sorry, Peter, I can't help. But I can say that the amount of yellow in this lip makes this mossie unique and very much desirable! |

agree 100% with Mauro... as I previously said, a very unusual lip for mosiae... give it the best conditions you can and let it gain a good price!!!  |

Ramon, I agree with you. I have never seen a Cattleya mossiae with that lip colouring and so I mask the question : Is it really a Cattleya mossiae or is it a hybrid? Would be very interested to hear Mauro's views. |

for me it is just that I grew up in the region where C. mosiae grows and have never seen a lip like that before. But you never know.... There is another C. mosiae clon, (I do not remember the name now) which is really too dark for mosiae.. but... on the other hand, I have no reason to doubt on the identity given to the plant here.... |

Ramon, I have a very extensive library and as I only grow species orchids, I check every plant out when it flowers to ensure that the label is correct. Recently I was judging at my home society show and a plant was exhibited as Bulbophyllum anteniferrum and because I have that species and checked it out I told the owner (I tried to buy the plant!) that his plant was not what the label said it was.I told him that it looked like a Bulbophyllum makoyanum. Now if you go to the FORUM section and go to the BULBOPHYLLUM section you will see that there is a message posted by Myrrh and Frankincense with two thumbnails of Bulbophyllums, one of which is being touted as Bulbophyllum makoyanum but which in fact is Bulbophyllum flabelloveneris (syn. Cirrhopetalum lepidum), a very variable species. The point that I am making is that labels on our plants are not always correct.
Keep well
Mike

And I absolutelly agree with you in that point I just wanted to mentioned that I only know the flowers presented here, have never seen the plant and do not know where it comes from... the only I casay, is that it is very uncommon, but nothing else  I think Peter is teh one who could give some hints regarding where he has the plant from, and how confident he is with that plants source and his labelling But I agree, that it look more like a hybrid with a very hight percentage of mosiae in it (only the lip confuses me so far)
here it is, this is the clon I mentioned before: C. mossiae 'Willobrook' Cattleya mossiae 'Willowbrook' on Flickr - Photo Sharing! I would never say from my own that this is C. mossiae, not even that it is a pure species...

Guys...
When i look at the plant, the development of the buds, flower time, and shape of the flowers, to me it is really a mossiae. Only the lip is a bit small,,,i should say. I have it already for 7 or 8 years. Bought it in Holland, at an very wellknown orchid nursery.No clone name available.
I have many mossiae plants, in all different varieties.
I have no doubts about the pure species of this plant.
I have seen it more often around here. It is not my favorite mossiae variety, to be honest. But i am sure it is pure mossiae.
Regards!!
Peter
