C. mossiae var rubra 'Willowbrook' FCC/AOS
 
Despite the controversy about its parentage, it's a beautiful colored flower. One day the mystery of whether it's pure mossiae or x graevesiana (hybrid of mossiae and lueddemaniana) will be revealed. Until that time I and other owners of this 'clone' will enjoy the fruit of our labor!

That is just stunning! I love the gold veining inside the lip and the frilliness of the lip.

Thank you KonaLady. The frills do frame the gold throat very well!

The color can be described as a dark glowing magenta. The petals hold themselves up more horizontally than most mossiaes, giving the impression of a fuller flower. I can see why the judges gave it an FCC, whether it was a mossiae or not.
