    Hello,

    My Cattleya mossiae is blooming right now and it makes me very happy! Six flowers on two stems. The parentage is 'Bonneycrest' x 'R.E. Patterson' which was made by Carter and Holmes a few years back. I'm very pleased with it. It has a delightful frangrance, too!

    The plant is in an eight-inch hanging basket. I removed the wire hanger and I have it temporarily sitting in a ceramic pot so that it won't be top-heavy.

    Best Regards,
    Nik von Ruden
