Cattleya dolosa is a species of orchid known for its beautiful and fragrant flowers. These orchids are native to Brazil and are highly sought after by orchid enthusiasts for their striking appearance. The flowers of Cattleya dolosa can vary in color, often displaying shades of purple, lavender, or pink, with a yellow or white throat.
Cattleya dolosa is considered to be an exotic orchid due to its unique and striking appearance, as well as its relatively limited natural distribution in the wild. Orchid enthusiasts often seek out exotic species like Cattleya dolosa because of their rarity and beauty. These orchids are highly prized for their vibrant and fragrant flowers, making them a desirable addition to orchid collections.

Cattleya orchids typically feature heavily fragrant flowers that come in a wide variety of shapes and colour combinations. Many of the species produce quite large blooms that stretch several inches across while others have smaller but no less beautiful blooms. The blooming frequency of the plant depends on its flower size. The larger the flower, the less frequently it will bloom. Their flowers last for usually from 15-20 days.

Cattleya orchids usually only flower once a year with the time frame varying by species, though some hybrids, especially those crossed with Laelia orchids, have been cultivated to bloom more than once. Cattleya orchids are not difficult to care for, and even beginners can find success with getting them to flower. They make lovely houseplants, but they can also live outside year-round in tropical climates and during the warmer months in areas that experience frost.

Note: The plants may or may not contain flowers or buds. There are chances that the buds/flowers could dry up due to transit stress even though we pack them with extreme care. The local climatic conditions and fertilization habits can affect the brightness & colour intensity of flowers. While we make every effort to match the actual colours of the flowers, the photographs may not be the exact representation, due to different monitor settings.
