Synopsis
Cattleyas, first introduced in 1818, are the flowers whose form and color defined the essence of tropical orchids for generations to come. This helpful and informative book describes each classic Cattleya species in fascinating detail and includes all that is required to appreciate and grow cattleyas successfully., Distributed by University Press of Florida on behalf of Chadwick & Son Orchids, Inc. 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.

    Amazing win indeed! Another great acquisition from Chadwick and Son! The value / deal of the century!! The packaging is unparalleled and I wish other sellers cared half as much!! I count at least 5 new growths, with each one being perfectly protected! Shipping was quick, plant was as described / pictured, and received in fine fettle! Even had a personalized note included! I’ve purchased here before and will do so again. Oh wait, I already have! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Five heart-shaped stars to you!!!

    Great communication and fast shipping. Very careful packaging to protect new sheath and the entire plant. I received the exact plant in the photo. I bought additional plants from their website and they were able to combine shipment. I’m very happy with my purchase and will definitely buy again. Thank you!!
