- Cattleya orchids have been named after William Cattley in the early 19th century.

He was credited with starting some hybrids from orchids sent to him as packing material from Brazil. There was a bulb amongst the packing material, and he nurture it in his greenhouse to see if anything will come out. The gorgeous cattleya orchid flower was the result.

The earliest named cattleya was the cattleya labiata. Today cattleyas are probably the most popular orchid plant. In a real application, the size of this orchid flower is very suitable for corsages.

The plants have one of the largest flowers, around 10 cm across, sometimes even slightly more. Most blossom only once per year and the flowers last only about up to 3 weeks.

New hybrids are grown today lasting longer and blooming more than once per year. It has been shown that the hybrids now can be bred for more frequent blooming and show flower for up to 5 -6 weeks. It seems they are easier to grow for hobbyist who don't have a greenhouse.
