Cattleya schroederae is a species of orchid. C. schroederae is named after Baroness Schroeder, wife of Sir John Schroder. It is a Colombian unifoliate Cattleya species. Flowers are to 9 in (23 cm) across, strongly fragrant.[3] C. shroederae blooms in spring from a sheath that has formed before the winter dormancy.[4] As it blooms around Easter in Northern hemisphere, it is often referred to as "Easter orchid", a name it shares with Cattleya mossiae.
