Description

Cattleya percivaliana (5.5 cm pot)

Name: Cattleya percivaliana (Rchb.f.) O’Brien

Etymology: The genus name Cattleya honors William Cattley; percivaliana was chosen in honor of R. P. Percival.

Origin/Distribution: Northern South America, especially Venezuela.

Location/Habitat: Epiphytic or lithophytic orchid from bright montane locations. Cultivate in very bright and airy conditions. Coarse bark and rapid drainage are important. Water regularly during growth; keep slightly drier after the pseudobulbs have matured. Temperatures of around 16–27 °C are suitable.

Description and Notes: Cattleya percivaliana remains compact to medium-sized and often blooms in winter. The large lavender to purple flowers have a darkly marked lip with a yellowish throat and a characteristic fragrance. A distinct drop in nighttime temperatures supports flower formation.
