Cattleya - Regular

This page includes all regular (not selected for shape or color, etc...) Cattleya species, Brazilian or exotic.

 

Cattleya amethystoglossa

Cattleya bicolor

This is the bicolor subspecies from the interior of Brazil. Plants are more robust, need more light and prefer dryer falls and winters, comparing with the regular coastal bicolors. Flowers (4") have lips that are flatter and wider than those of the regular bicolors.

Cattleya granulosa

Very showy species from the beaches of the northeastern region of Brazil. Plants get quite tall and robust, producing then several waxy flowers about 5"across. Flower color goes from green to yellow to bronze to dark red. Warm growers.

Cattleya intermedia

This is the regular form of the species. So much has been done in terms of improvement of the species that we forget how the flowers usually look like.

4" (NFS) - 15.00

 

Cattleya loddigesii

One of the best known of the bifoliate cattleyas, and the first to be described. The delicate colors of the well-balanced flowers make the species a long time favorite among growers. Plants stay manageable for a bifoliate and frequently start blooming quite small. Flowers 4". Intermediate, but cold and heat tolerant.

Cattleya schilleriana

An extremely showy Brazilian bifoliate. Plants are robust, but short. Flowers are very distinctive, and up to more than 4" across. Intermediate growers, plants prefer it a bit dryer in the winter. Medium to strong light, depending on growing temperatures.

Cattleya velutina

This is a very rare species, both in cultivation and in the wild (due to extensive habitat destruction). The 3 1/2" flowers are very unique in the genus, and are produced up to 8+ per inflorescence. Very limited quantity (so 1 per customer, please).
