Description of Cattleya Orchid


Cattleya Orchid

The corsage orchid is a popular and rewarding orchid to grow. It has large tall growths called pseudo bulbs that are topped with a leaf growing one after another to produce the next season's bloom. The pseudo bulbs are connected to each other by a horizonal growth that is at or just under the surface of the media called a rhizome. When repotting, a rhizome clip may be required to secure the orchid in its pot. Cattleya orchids are usually repotted when they have finished blooming and a new pseudo bulb is just starting to grow.
Cattleya is a genus of 113 species of orchids from Costa Rica to tropical South America. The genus was named in 1824 by John Lindley after Sir William Cattley, who received and successfully cultivated specimens of Cattleya labiata that were used as packing material in a shipment of other orchids. The genus is abbreviated C in trade journals.
They are widely known for their large, showy flowers, and were used extensively in hybridization for the cut-flower trade until quite recently. This genus and the numerous hybrids come close, through their beauty, to the idealized picture we have of the orchids. The flowers of the hybrids can vary in size from 5 cm to 15 cm or more. They occur in all colors except true blue and black.
The typical flower has three rather narrow sepals and three usually broader petals: two petals are similar to each other, and the third is the quite different conspicuous lip, featuring various markings and specks and an often frilly margin. At the base, the margins are folded into a tube. Each flower stalk originates from a pseudo bulb. The number of flowers varies; it can be just one or two, or sometimes up to ten. It’s species in originally; the concept Cattleya included a requirement that the pollinarium contain only four pollinia. Starting some time after December, 2000, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) began re-organizing the generic boundaries with respect to hybrid registration. This has led to multiple senses of the term Cattleya, not only with respect to species, but also with respect to hybrids.

CONTOH ESAI KEBERSIHAN SEKOLAH

Kebersihan Sekolah Salah satu masalah yang sedang dihadapi Indonesia saat ini adalah permasalahan kebersihan, terutama permasalahan sampah. Pengertian sampah itu sendiri adalah sisa suatu usaha atau kegiatan manusia yang berwujud padat, baik berupa zat organik maupun anorganik yang bersifat dapat terurai maupun tidak terurai dan dianggap sudah tidak berguna lagi sehingga dibuang ke lingkungan. Kesadaran penduduk yang rendah akan pentingnya membuang sampah pada tempatnya, membuat negara kita terkenal dengan tumpukan-tumpukan sampah. Apalagi di kota-kota besar seperti Jakarta.
