The Classic Cattleyas

The definitive book on large flowered Cattleya species.

A.A. Chadwick has grown and studied the classic cattleyas for more than sixty years, and in this book he and his son, Arthur E. Chadwick, share their knowledge and expertise with those who wish to understand and grow the large-flowered cattleyas and their hybrids. Not only is each classic Cattleya species described in fascinating detail, but its role in the ever more elaborate programs of breeding is elucidated. The hybridizing of cattleyas has resulted in a rich variety of forms and colors. All that is required to appreciate and grow cattleyas successfully is included here. Cultivation, humidity and watering, fertilizing, propagation, and diagnosing and treating problems are all detailed. Signed by the authors
