Cattleya Measuresiana is an absolute masterpiece of a primary hybrid (C. aclandiae × C. walkeriana) that ranks as a top favorite among collectors of compact, fragrant orchids. Because it brings together two legendary dwarf species, this plant stays wonderfully small and space-saving, yet punches well above its weight class when it comes to floral display.

The waxy, exceptionally heavy-substanced blooms perfectly combine the best traits of both parents. Buyers can look forward to striking flowers that typically feature a bright pink, magenta, or creamy green backdrop heavily decorated with an array of exotic mahogany-red spotting inherited from C. aclandiae, all beautifully framed by the broad, dramatic, and intensely vibrant pink-magenta lip passed down from C. walkeriana.

As a major bonus for growers, C. Measuresiana is a highly rewarding, free-flowering hybrid that can easily bloom two or more times a year as new growths mature. The long-lasting flowers are also celebrated for their unreal, sweet, and penetrating perfume that will quickly fill a greenhouse, windowsill, or patio area. Highly adaptable and vigorous, it is an outstanding candidate for growing in open, airy baskets or mounted on cork slabs where its fine root system can thrive and its stunning, spotted presentation can be admired up close
