User's notes
About 3 plants in flower or close to flowering. I'm pretty sure this is C. cucullata, but there were some other plants that were a little bit paler that might have been C. moschata.
EDIT: Have decided it is more likely to be C. moschata based on the amount of colouration on the labellum. Images of C. cucullata suggest that a larger portion of the labellum should be coloured.

C. cucullata flowers a bit later, flowers are smaller and labellum shorter, with a dark purplish-red tip. C. moschata has a musky smell on warm days.
