In 1818, William Cattley succeeded in flowering one of the
first species of the genus that would bear his name. These
first cattleyas are the classic cattleyas, whose form
defined the essence of tropical orchids for generations to
come. Indeed, the color of their flowers became known as
"orchid." In this helpful and informative book, each classic
Cattleya species is described in fascinating detail, and its
role in breeding programs is elucidated. All that is
required to appreciate and grow the large-flowered cattleyas
successfully is included. Cultivation, humidity and
watering, fertilizing, propagation, and diagnosing and
treating problems are detailed, making this volume valuable
for both veteran orchid enthusiasts and those who simply
love these beautiful flowers.
