Cattleya amethystoglossa is in bloom now in the nursery. This Brazilian native is a tall-growing member of the bifoliate Cattleya group of orchids. The orchids pictured here have an average height of 18-24 inches, and they are growing taller each year! I can expect these orchids to achieve a final height of between 4 and 5 feet tall by the end of the next two growing seasons.
The clusters of 5-14 fragrant, 2-3 inch flowers are a happy and welcome break in the sometimes dark, cold mid winter season.
Yes, I have some of this plant in the store: Cattleya amethystoglossa.

We are not able to have visitor to the Nursery at this time. We will have a display and sale table at the Oregon Orchid Society show in Portland on April 14 and 15. I will post pictures on the site of changes in the Nursery as new plants and hybrids grow and flower. I will also post pictures from the Oregon Orchid Society Show, so keep an “eye out” for updates!
Regards,
