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?

Five Gorgeous Orchid Flowers

Many orchids are true air plants that rely on the air you and I breathe to live. They live on the dying portions of living trees but don't harm the tree they grow on..  Unlike mistletoe that leaches nutrients from a tree, and harms the tree, orchids use moss and nutrients in the air to feed itself.  That makes them really cool right?

If the world was ever to end, all that would remain is orchids!!!  What do you think?

Here are Five Gorgeous Orchid Flowers that exude timeless beauty..

Orange orchid flowers - Doritaenopsis Surf Song OX "Gold Orange"

Autumn is here!  You can tell by the coolness in the air.. everything seems just a little quieter in the fall too.. a perfect time to blog.

Here is a cool Autumn quote:

"Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons." ~Jim Bishop

Orange is the color of Autumn so I am re-sharing one of my favorite orchids called Doritaenopsis Surf Song OX "Gold Orange." The flower color changes depending on the age of the flower.  As the flowers age, the color lightens slightly.  The combination of the bright orange and bright fuchsia center beckons the orchid lover to take a closer look.. Do you think Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons? What's your favorite season?

Cattleya Green Emerald "Queen" Orchid Flowers Smell Like Bubble Gum

The orchid flowers of Cattleya Green Emerald "Queen" are hard to the touch and very fragrant!  The flowers resemble those of another species orchid called Cattleya guttata ("the spotted Cattleya orchid"). Cattleya Green Emerald "Queen"  is a bifoliate Cattleya species of orchid.  The word bifoliate means it has two leaves from when the orchid stem grows.  One plant usually produces two flowers buds that are green then open up to this spectacular orchid flower.  The orchid flowers smell like bubble gum.  As a kid I chomped on a gum called Hubba Bubba and these orchid flowers smell like that gum.. Yummy!!
