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 velutina
This is a very rare species, both in cultivation
