Cattleya mossiae semi-alba first bloom
 

I bought this plant a few years ago as a relatively small seedling. It's been a vigorous grower, and this year it's flowering for the first time. Great fragrance, and the shape looks pretty decent too.

Beautiful and fresh looking flower :) The pictures are very nice!

Very nice. I like how round the petals are.

Well done, Steve! I like this one a lot.

Really beautiful! Nice to see what mine will (hopefully) look like next year. It arrived last month via eBay, with one fat bud; the bloom opened deformed, and because of the stress of repotting, I cut it off so that the plant can focus its energy on root growth. Hurts to do that, even though it's the right thing to do. :(

I love its lip pattern!

Really nice flower. Has a very clean fresh look to it.

Very nice Steve! Is this the clone from H&R? I have that one and yours looks a lot like it, but without the slug holes in the petals!!! lol

Great semi-alba! You're right: the shape looks pretty good too.

Steve, I'm not sure where it originated. The tag simply said it was a semi-alba.
