C. mossiae 'Willowbrook'
This has been a very frustrating plant. Its first blooming three years ago, it had no petals. Last year, small petals, and a misshapen lip. Always great color, tho. This time it is really nice, but a bit smallish. The fragrance is wonderful but a bit faint so far, three days. Now if I can only get more than one flower.

It is quite pretty. Well, seems like it has been improving each year. May be it will give you more flowers next time.
I read somewhere that this is a finicky one.
Got myself one recently but too small to bloom yet.

Those color really is quite pretty, Kim. I've never had any luck with this plan in the past. For some reason it always burnt up whenever I placed it outside under the same conditions as my other cattleyas. After seeing yours I might have to try it again.
