''Cattleya maxima'' ("Largest Cattleya") is a species of orchid with a superficial resemblance to the labiate species of ''Cattleya'', but with a closer genetic relationship to the Crispid ''Laelias'' (such as ''C. purpurata'').Sometimes referred to as the "peekaboo orchid" or Christmas flower. It first discovered in the year 1777, by Spanish botanists José Antonio Pavón Jiménez and Hipólito Ruiz López during an exploration of Spain's South American colonies.In 1831, John Lindley proclaimed Ruiz and Pavón's orchid as a new species,''Cattleya maxima''.Prior to 2000, ''C. maxima'' was separated from the Brazilian ''Laelias'' because it had only four pollinia in its pollinarium, as opposed to eight in ''Laelia sensu MCMXCIX''. == Characteristics == ''C. maxima'' flowers bloom from mid-November to early December with a purplish-lavander color. ''C. maxima'' usually grow to 2 ft. high. ''C. maxima'' have 3 sepals and a unique yellow stripe on its flower lip. ''C. maxima'' have pseudobulbs which denotes its 2 varieties, one with larger pseudobulbs and one with smaller pseudobulbs.
