Cattleya Orchids in bloom.

Our Cattleya orchid plant has put up a showy performance for which South American is famous for. This South American native orchid is widely known for its large, showy flowers. It is also called the “corsage orchid” because it is often used in corsages and wedding bouquets. Even though it is not so common to wear corsages anymore, my wife Jo could not help but to hang it in our veranda as a floral decoration for our dinner guests this evening.
