C. mossiae semi alba
One of my favorite parts of spring is the blooming of my C. mossiae semi alba. I bought this plant out of bloom a few years ago from the fine folks at Chadwick and Son Orchids. When I bought it, I was hungry for plants, and adding things to my collection at a frantic pace. But in this instance it worked out well.
I find mossiae to be an easy plant to grow, as long as you understand its culture. My mossiae does not finish its new growth until late fall when it then sends out new roots from the growth. I have found this is the time to repot it and still get a nice bloom in the spring.
