Cattleya mossiae coerulea

Beautiful! I'm growing the same plant and it already has six buds to bloom.

Outstanding. My favorite cattleya species. Congratulations on your excellent flowers.

Beautiful!

such an elegant form...very nice

I wish I could figure out why my C. mossiae is blooming so much later in my care. I have records of the previous blooms on the plant and they occurred around this time. Past 2 years mine has bloomed in June- it put out two blooming growths then put out two more growths, then bloom.

beautiful!

Temperature maybe? Many of my orchids, from different groups, bloom for me later (growing outside so experiencing some cold and generally cooler) than those of people in my area who grow in greenhouses, even unheated ones.
