Cattleya alaorii up to high, and grow in the top branches where they get a fair amount of light. Their environment is always foggy and minimum temperatures in winter are never less than . Cattleya alaorii Cattleya alaorii, commonly known as the Laelia alaorii, is a species of orchid endemic to Brazil (Bahia). The species was named after Mr. Alaor Oliveira, former employee at the University of São Paulo at Piracicaba, who first collected this species in a field excursion in the late 1960s. It was discovered in the 1970s in an isolated mountain chain near Itabuna, Bahia state. It grows in
Basics of blue flower colouration of co-pigmentation, intermolecular and intramolecular. In the first type co-pigment is bound to anthocyanin by non-covalent bond (hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction, ionic interaction). In the second type, we can observe covalent acylation of the glycosyl moiety of anthocyanin. Intramolecular co-pigmentation has stronger effect on the colour. This type of protective stacking is called also a sandwich type stacking and is a very common mechanism in the formation of blue flower colour. Tirantin present in "Clitoria ternatea" (butterfly pea) and phacelianin present in "Phacelia campanularia" are examples of pigments with intramolecular co-pigmentation. Metal complexation: Often blue flower colour is correlated with
