Cattleyas have long been considered the "Queen of the Orchids".

Many people consider them to be the most beautiful and consider them to be the symbol for the orchid family. For others though, when one thought of cattleyas, one pictured large lavender flowers that your grandmother wore. Nothing is further from the truth today. Cattleyas come in every shape, size and color imaginable. We want to offer you a plant for whatever your taste may be..

We have so many Cattleyas that we had to divide them up into several pages:
