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..

Phalaenopsis Venosa Darling Taiwan "Black Coffee"

Dendrobium hanensis
