Another Special Cattleya violacea in Our Collection!
Continuing with our Cattleya violacea series, today we are featuring a very special gem with a deep personal connection:
Cattleya violacea rubra 'Jean Wilson' FCC/AOS🍃
This iconic plant is named after Jean Wilson, an orchid collector par excellence from South Florida. My father originally bought this exact plant directly from her, making it not only an award-winning treasure in our pati, but also a meaningful piece of our family’s orchid journey.
✨ With its intense coloration and incredible form, it is always a showstopper when in bloom!
Enjoy these photos capturing different moments of its bloom!

💛 Did You Know? The Story Behind Cattleya violacea var. alba
I am continuing to share our Cattleya violacea collection by posting some of our favorite white forms:
C. violacea alba 'Doral', C. violacea alba 'Krull's Ghost', and C. violacea alba ('OCN White' x 'Walter Rocha').
While enjoying these blooms, I wanted to share a little piece of Venezuelan orchid history! The very first documented alba variety in Venezuela belonged to Don Luis Henrique Yanes and created a huge sensation when exhibited in Caracas back in 1957. Later in the 1970s, true alba and semialba plants were discovered along the Aro River on the property of Mrs. Elvira Bello. One of these historic specimens was confirmed by renowned orchideologist Dr. Icilio Crisci and even graced the cover of El Minero magazine in 1977!
