Cattleya mossiae
Unless my memory fails, this is C. mossiae growing in my greenhouse. No shows this month, of course.

Really pretty blooms. If that's truly C. mossiae (and not a hybrid), it's one of exceptionally good shape. Congratulations on the lovely flowers.

Nice one Rob. Looks like a bit is flaring in the petals, is that typical?

Very nice plant! but being very honest, it does seem way too "perfect" for a true mossiae... are you sure it is a pure one, or is it any posiibility it actually misidentified C. xgravesiana? (there are many xgravesiana outthere misidentified as mossiae!)
