C. mossiae semi-alba pincelada

[NEslipper]

Originally purchased as a select seedling from Steven Christoffersen a couple of years ago. From the cross Llamarada x Valerio it has 2 flowers and 1 bud just opening up. From what I've seen of this cross it has been quite nice, and very consistent, so if you come across one - grab it! I love this flower, in my opinion it has the best of the mossiae charm with an intoxicating fragrance and those petals that fall forward. Not everything needs to be a flat, round dinner plate! Really nice substance as well, and nice dark pincelada markings. I just wish the dorsal had stayed upright, it was upright for almost a week, but then overnight curled a bit from the top, oh well, maybe on the next blooming it will behave.





Giving the dorsal an assist:

Reminds me of fireworks. Would love a piece.

the 'flares' really set it off. Lovely

Just stunning! Great pincelada markings

She looks really great ... even with the slightly backwards curled dorsal.

Life has been rather hectic of late, but here are some belated pictures of the 3rd flower. The first two have since dropped, but I'm still able to enjoy the 3rd flower, it's slightly smaller than the first two, but still smells lovely!

Here's a more accurate picture of the color:
