Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattleya is a popular and enchanting genus of orchids known for its large, vibrant, and showy flowers. Belonging to the Orchidaceae family, Cattleya orchids are native to tropical regions of Central and South America, where they typically grow in the wild on trees or rocks. These epiphytic orchids are highly prized among orchid enthusiasts and have been extensively hybridized, resulting in a wide variety of cultivars with diverse colors, shapes, and sizes. Here are some key features and characteristics of Cattleya flowers: - Distinctive Flowers: Cattleya orchids are renowned for their stunning and elaborate flowers. The blooms are usually large, with a distinctive lip (labellum) that often differs in shape and color from the other petals. - Variety of Colors: Cattleya flowers come in a diverse range of colors, including shades of pink, purple, white, yellow, and even green. Some hybrids display captivating combinations of multiple colors. - Fragrance: Many Cattleya orchids are prized for their delightful fragrance. The scent can vary between different species and hybrids, ranging from sweet and citrusy to spicy or even reminiscent of roses. - Epiphytic Growth Habit: In their natural habitat, Cattleya orchids are epiphytes, meaning they grow on trees or rocks without causing harm to their host. In cultivation, they are often potted in a well-draining orchid mix that mimics their natural environment. - Cultural Requirements: Cattleyas are considered intermediate to warm-growing orchids, requiring specific conditions to thrive. They generally prefer bright, filtered light, high humidity, and good air circulation. Proper watering and a well-ventilated growing medium are crucial for their health. - Hybridization: Due to their popularity, Cattleya orchids have been extensively hybridized, leading to a vast array of cultivars with unique characteristics. Hybridization has allowed for the development of plants that are well-suited to various growing conditions and that display a wide spectrum of flower colors and forms. - Symbolism: Orchids, including Cattleyas, are often associated with love, beauty, and refinement. In different cultures, they may carry additional symbolic meanings, making them popular choices for special occasions and gifts. Cattleya orchids are a favorite choice among orchid enthusiasts and collectors, appreciated not only for their striking beauty but also for the rewarding challenge they present in cultivation. Whether grown by experienced orchid growers or by those just starting in the hobby, Cattleyas continue to captivate with their breathtaking blooms and unique charm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orchids account for a large share of global floriculture trade both as cut flowers and as potted plants, and are estimated to comprise around 10% of international fresh cut flower trade. The average value of fresh cut orchids and buds trade during 2007-2012 was US$ 483 million. In 2012, there are more than 40 countries exporting orchids and 60 countries importing orchids around the world, with the total size of the global trade equaling US$ 504 million. In India, about 1350 species belonging to 186 genera represent approximately 5.98% of the world orchid flora and 6.83% of the flowering plants in India. The publication on “Commercial Orchids” is presented in 15 interesting chapters vividly highlighting the global orchid industry, bio-diversity, conservation and bio-piracy of genetic resources, morphological and molecular characterization of valuable species, breeding approaches for improved genotypes, production of quality planting materials, physiology of tropical and temperate orchids, climate change and its impact on orchid productivity, production technology of commercial epiphytic orchids for cut flower, production technology of commercial terrestrial orchids for cut flower, orchids for pot culture, hanging baskets and tree mounting, medicinal and aromatic orchids, post-harvest management of cut flowers of commercial orchids, value addition and marketing.
Download or read book The Cattleyas and Their Relatives The Bahamian and Caribbean species written by Carl Leslie Withner and published by Timber Press (OR). This book was released on 1996 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CATTLEYAS AND THEIR RELATIVES Volume IV: The Bahamian and Caribbean Species This is the fourth volume in a landmark series of six books devoted to the genera of the Cattleya alliance. Carl Withner's extensive experience, study, and research give readers access to an unparalleled range of information about appearance, growth habit, incidence and cultivation of each species as he describes. In addition to his considerable expertise, Dr. Withner brings clarity, precision, order and enthusiasm to the complexities the genera present. The clear and detailed text is supported by photographs, type illustrations, and diagrams. Useful both as a botanical and horticultural reference, this is the most complete and up-to-date work on the genera included. It presents information on 67 major and minor species from nine Caribbean genera: Broughtonia, Cattleyopsis, Domingoa, Encylia, Laeliopsis, Neocogniauxia, Psychilis, Quisqueya, and Tetramicra.With increasing interest in habitat survival and in the conservation of all species, avid orchid hobbyists increasingly wish to see and know more about these lesser-known taxa. Of special interest in this volume are the first thorough information on Tetramicra and the first-ever drawing of Encyclia angustifolia, an extremely rare species first collected in Jamaica 1788 but never before photographed or drawn for publication. The general run of taxa in this volume is not to be found in ordinary orchid books and will be of great interest to enthusiasts. Writing in the American Orchid Society Bulletin, Rebecca Northern said of the first volume: "This is a book for all time. It and the five volumes to follow will form a grand addition to orchid libraries... (a) source of information for years to come." Withner's next volumes will include discussions of Mesoamerican and the remaining South American species. All those interested in the cattleyas and their relatives, from botanist to the professional grower to the hobbyist, will find Dr. Withner's work an invaluable resource.
Download or read book The Cattleyas and Their Relatives The South American Encyclia species written by Carl Leslie Withner and published by Timber Press (OR). This book was released on 2000 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cattleyas are frequently called "the Queen of the Orchids," and Carl Withner's passion for them started before World War II. About 12 years ago he published the first in this series of six books, which now comes to a conclusion with this final volume. The South American Encyclia species have not previously been the subject of a book, and the genus presents many problems and difficulties. A few of the species are known from a single herbarium specimen and may well now be extinct because of the continuing loss of habitat. This volume also includes taxonomic and nomenclatural changes affecting species covered in the earlier volumes, as well as additions and changes to the text of each of the five volumes.
