Cattleya Orchids...

Cattleyas Range in size from tiny miniatures perfect for window sill cultures to larger standard cats with spectacular 6 to 8 inch flowers. Cattleyas have long been called the "Queen of Orchids" for their large flower size and wide range of colors. They can be easy to grow and flower with little care and many bloom two or three times a year. If you are a beginner or you don't have a lot of room, try a miniature or compact variety since they tend to do better under low light and they flower more often.

When your order from our list please note the following terms & abbreviations in our plant descriptions:
  • A Mericlone has been propagated by cloning and every plant will grow the same and bloom with the same flower as others with the same name. A Mericlone is a proven variety that has been cloned to retain its special & unique characteristics.
  • A clone's name is usually followed by a varietal name in quotation marks. If a plant is not a mericlone that means it has been propagated from seed. Like your kids, no two will be the exact same even though there may be similarities, this is how new varieties are discovered or created. If you want a one of a kind or you are looking for something new and unique then try an Orchid propagated from seed.
  • B.S. = Blooming Size.
  • N.B.S. = Near Blooming Size (usually within 8-14 months of first bloom).
