Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Diacattleya-Pink
Many people think most Cattleya orchids smell nice, but experts might disagree. Some types do have a lovely scent, but others that look amazing might not smell as good. One special kind, the Diacattleya-Pink, is exceptional. Its flowers smell great and change color from pink to beige as they grow older. This orchid isn't just fragrant—it's also very beautiful. It would make a perfect gift for someone important to you.
