Surname: Cattlianthe Chloris 'coerulea'
Synonyms:
Cattleya Chloris 'coerulea'

Trade name: Cattleya
Reproduction: from seeds
Parents: Cattleya (Guarinathe) bowringiana x Cattleya maxima
breeder: Veitch
RHS Registration: Veitch, 1893
Remarks:
Cattleya Chloris is an exceptionally beautiful hybrid. First introduced in 1893 by Veitch & Sons in the Gardners' Chronicle (see 3rd picture above), it attracted a lot of attention even then. Here we have a remake with blue parents. The most intense flower coloring is achieved when the day/night difference is 5-7°C during bud ripening, and attention must be paid to the humidity so that the buds do not dry out.
