The "Queen of the Orchids" can be found wild in Central and South America. Pronounced "KAT-lee-ah", this orchid produces several showy and fragrant blooms each year. The flowers are short-lived (2-3 weeks for standard types, 4-6 weeks for miniatures) but are generally regarded as the most beautiful and colorful of all orchid flowers. The Cattleya orchid is most commonly associated with corsages. This orchid only blooms on its newest growth. Orchids in the Cattleya (C) group include Brassavola (B), Laelia (L), and Sophronitis (S). Hybrids are sometimes abbreviated Blc, Slc, Lc, etc. The photo above depicts Lc Powhatan, a semi-alba type.

General Orchid Information and Care

Growing instructions - Keep in bright room but no direct sunlight. Water thoroughly once or twice a week. Provide temperatures of 60-90 degrees F. Flowers should last for several months and the plant should rebloom annually if given the proper conditions.
