Those are beautiful, Mauro. How big is the plant? Do you notice any difference in plant sizes of this species? I have two plants, one is a typical pink-flowered variety that grows fairly large. The other C. mossiae is about half the size of the standard plant, but they both flower every spring (meaning that I assume that they are both adults) at the same time and have nearly identical fragrances. I keep expecting the smaller plant to "grow up," but its new growths are the same size every year as the old growths. Do you know if C. mossiae shows a lot of variation in plant size within the species?

Steve, I have several C. mossiae and I can say that the plant does not vary much in height, but the pseudo-bulbs do vary in thickness: some plants have very thin pbs and some others thick pbs. Besides this, I don't see other kind of variation  . |

Very pretty! I like Catts that stand tall and hold the flowers above the foliage. Nice growing.
