Cattleya Lavender Orchids are named for the English horticulturist who originally used the orchids leathery leaves to help pack his collection of mosses shipped from South America in the early 1800’s! Truly the queen of the orchids, Cattleya has an amazingly showy bloom reaching up to 5 inches across. The shape of this bloom is always unique with 2 fringed petals and a darker color lip featuring individual markings. For a tropical inspired look you can pair these with pink roses, Vanda orchids and mini calla lilies in a monochromatic theme.
