Also, a quick tip when writing about species and hybrids:
Hybrids always have their name in capitals, so when you wrote Cattleya Moscombe, that was correct.

However, when you write the name of a species, the genus name is capitalized and the species name is lower case, so it should be Brassavola (now renamed as Rhyncolaelia) digbyana.

The varietals can be capitalized as well, so 'Grace' and 'Mrs. Chase' are correct.
