Cattleya partheniax

Cattleya partheniax is a 19th-century name by Bleu for a cultivated hybrid (also written Cattleya × parthenia), and it has no wild range or wild records. It is best grown as a standard large-flowered cattleya: bright light, intermediate temperatures, and a medium that dries quickly. Its parents were not documented in the sources we could reach.
