	Orchids - Cattleyas, Phalaenopsis, Vandas, Dendrobiums And More
		Cattleyas, the only orchids that are universally recognized as orchids, are considered the Queen of Orchids.
		The current Cattleya breeding is producing vivid colors in orange, reds, and yellows on more compact plants that bloom multiple times per year.
		Using the traditional and fragrant white and lavender Cattleyas and Laelias and introducing the red Sophronitis, the green Brassavolas, and the multi-flowered Broughtonias and Epidendrums is producing a whole new generation of orchids that anyone can grow and enjoy.

	Cattleya Orchid Care and Culture
		To me, Cattleya orchids are among the most beautiful and fulfilling of the orchid species to grow and care for.
		Adding additional Cattleya orchids to your collection is easy, since their care and culture varies only slightly among most of the hybrids.
		Cattleya orchids (and other orchid species) that have been hard grown will have bigger, brighter, sturdier blooms and the inflorescence will be stronger and not require staking.

	Cattleya Orchids from J & P Orchids
		Many of today's Cattleya hybrids are cross-breeds of cross-breeds of orchids, but all can trace their parentage back to the original orchid species from which they were derived.
		Cattleya orchids are commonly called "corsage orchids" because the blooms are frequently used in corsages due to their exceptional beauty and fragrance.
		Some of the new Cattleya orchid hybrids are bred more for the beauty of their blooms and may not be as fragrant as others, so we note in our catalog those Cattleya orchids for sale that are particularly fragrant.

	Cattleya eldorado (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Cattleya eldorado was hybridized with many of the other Cattleya and Laelia species in the early days of breeding, but the results did not stimulate hybridizers to continue with it to any great extent.
		CATTLEYA eldorado was looked upon as a difficult cattleya to grow when it was first imported into Europe in the 1870s, and it apparently took growers some time to learn its requirements.
		Cattleya eldorado also needs a clear-cut rest period after flowering and should receive a minimum of water during the winter months when it is essentially dormant.

		Cattleyas include amongst their numbers those which are strong robust plants capable of surviving quite difficult conditions, although, of course, their growth and flowering will be much better and more assured when their relatively simple basic requirements are provided.
		There are, however, some cattleyas which are more delicate and which require additional care, but there are plants attractive to all covering a wide spectrum of growing skill and conditions.
		It is important to note, however, that many cattleyas come from lowland coastal regions, areas that naturally have a warmer climate.

		My father, Arthur Sr., had collected all the Cattleya species that were known to exist -- from the relatively common Cattleya mossiae and Cattleya trianaei (the national flowers of Venuzela and Colombia, respectively) to the rare and almost unheard of Cattleya eldorado and Cattleya quadricolor.
		The word Cattleya (cat-LEE-ah) was often mispronounced as cat-a-LEE-na, like the flying boat of the Second World War, or cat-ta-LAAY-ah, which sounded like a maiden from a South Sea island.
		Eventually, the generic word "orchid" was used to describe all cattleyas and the term "orchid color" to describe the lovely lavender shade of a Cattleya flower.

	Easy Orchids - Cattleya
		Cattleyas and Laelias are amongst the most flamboyant orchids around and are often referred to chocolate box orchids due the fact that they are often depicted on such packaging.
		Both Cattleyas and Laelias like plenty of water and humidity during the growing season with a rest from watering of between 6 - 10 weeks after the plant has finished it's current years bulb, this rest period will encourage the bulb to harden and help with flower bud formation.
		Since they are epiphytic or lithophytic they can be grown in baskets or on rafts of wood or cork bark, If using pots use a large grade bark compost as this will allow the roots to penetrate the compost and prevent them from being waterlogged.
