Cattleya Schroederoe Alba - Baroness Schroeder's Cattleya

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

Discover the rare beauty of the Cattleya Schroederae Alba, a highly renowned orchid variety in the later Victorian age. Dedicated to the renowned Baroness Schröder, who was a leading figure in orchids during the 19th century, this print derives from the masterpiece by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, known as Reichenbachia.

As "the Orchid King," Sander spared no cost to include only the finest plant specimens that adorned his collection. This particular "Alba" variety has earned recognition for its stunning snow-white petals and pale citron throat, making it one of the most beautiful varieties of the species. While the normal C. Schroederae variety has lavender petals, this particular specimen features a crystalline quality, coupled with a sweet violet scent.
