Description: For as long as cattleya hybrids have been made, breeders have been naming them after prominent women of the day. In the United States, 19 consecutive First Ladies have been honored beginning with Mrs. Woodrow Wilson whose husband was in office in 1921. This collection of orchids presents a historical picture of the trends in U.S. cattleya breeding over a century. In addition, the lineage of these hybrids provides an overview of the diverse family of cattleya species that exist in nature as well as an inside look at the renowned growers around the world who played a role in creating these enduring legacies. 304 pages269 color photos81 black & white photos22 botanical paintingsSIGNED
