[Opinions] Re: Cataleya and Cattleya
I don’t know that it would work quite as well in predominantly English-speaking countries with cattle=cows and “cow” being one of the bigger and more common insults that can be directed at a woman. It’s hard to say, though.

I noticed the 'cattle' part but I guess it didn't bother me because the orchid is named after someone named Cattley so I suppose the pronunciation is CAT-lee-uh. Cataleya is kah-tah-LAY-ah, as far as I know.
