Cattleyas have long been considered the "Queen of the Orchids".
Many people consider them to be the most beautiful and the standard symbol for the entire orchid family. For others the thought of cattleyas conjures up large lavender flowers that grandmother wore. Nothing could be further from the truth today. No longer relegated to the corsage market, cattleyas come in every shape, size and color imaginable. We want to offer you a plant for wherever your taste may lead you. Even if it may be a corsage for Grandmama!
We have so many Cattleyas that we had to divide them up into several sections to make it easier for you:
