What are the Flower Languages and Symbolisms of Cattleya Orchids?
I was indeed attracted to the beauty of Cattleya orchids at first sight. They are so beautiful, with a spherical shape that is both lovely and adorable. Cattleya orchids are also known as樱兰 (Oriental Cherry Orchid), 天蝶梅 (Celestial Butterfly梅花), and 雪球花 (Snowball Flower). The origin of their name comes from the fact that after blooming, the small flowers form a large round flower ball, with star-shaped clusters that are elegant and fragrant, resembling a beautiful flower ball that is pleasing to the eye.
Cattleya orchids often grow epiphytically on tree trunks and stone walls, preferring warm and dry conditions. They thrive in high temperatures, humidity, and semi-shaded environments. During summer and autumn, it is necessary to maintain a higher air temperature, avoiding direct sunlight as too much exposure can cause the leaves to turn yellow, becoming rough and losing their luster.
Cattleya orchids are not only admired for their flowers but also for their leaves. Even when they are not flowering or have few flowers, the leaves still grow well. In the southern part of China, Cattleya orchids are often grown outdoors as fence materials, growing on stones or climbing walls. They can also be cultivated in pots for hanging baskets or placed on shelves for decoration.
The flower language of Cattleya orchids is 'youth and beauty,' making them a suitable gift for women, symbolizing that the girl receiving the Cattleya orchids will always remain young and beautiful.
