Cattleya is a genus of 42 species of
orchids from
Costa Rica to tropical
South America. The genus was named in 1824 by
John Lindley after William Cattley, who received and successfully cultivated specimens of
Cattleya labiata that were used as packing material in a shipment of other orchids.They are widely known for their large, showy
flowers, and were used extensively in
hybridization for the cut-flower trade until quite recently. This genus and the numerous hybrids come close, through their beauty, to the idealized picture we have of the orchids. The flowers of the hybrids can vary in size from 5 cm to 15 cm or more. They occur in all colors except true blue and black.
