Ten of the Most Beautiful Cattleya Orchid Flowers

It's Cattleya orchid season! It's autumn and Cattleya orchid plants bloom throughout the days of autumn when it is cooler.  Soon the orchid greenhouse will be filled with the scent of Cattleya orchid flowers.  The flowers are sometimes large but can be small too.  The flowers are just as beautiful as the sweet scents they produce.

Cattleya orchids are true air plants that rely on the air you and I breathe to live!! They grow on trees but don't hurt the tree it grows on since it usually clings to the decaying portion of the tree.  It uses moss to create a perfect symbiosis..  Cattleya orchid plants can survive for a lifetime as a potted plant rewarding the grower with beautifully scented flowers.

Here are some pics of some of my favorite Cattleya orchid flowers.  Which one do you like?
