Cattleya Orchids

Cattleyas range in size from tiny miniatures perfect for windowsill 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.
