Cattleya

What else is there to say about cattleyas that have not yet been written nor published? They are among the most fascinating plants to watch: the dazzling colors, the flowers' velutinous textures, the seemingly random yet predictable shapes, and in the case of cattleyas, a gentle fragrance that is unmistakably its own.

The truth is I'm not even as passionate of orchids as I am of ferns and aroids, but lately, I've been slowly getting hooked.
