Description

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.
