Still, it's a nice picture, I guess. And actually the growers may not have had a lot of choice: with the recent weather in Florida, I understand a lot of producers lost a lot of plants. Selection is perhaps not what it used to be.
Wilsonara ("Wils.") is a man-made cross of plants from three different genus of orchids: Cochlioda ("Cda."), Odontoglossum ("Odm."), and Oncidium ("Onc."). I don't know anything about how they are to grow. As best as I could determine, the flowers don't have a scent.
The picture gets much bigger, if opened in a separate window. For those of you who are into big orchid pictures.
These would follow standard culture for Oncidium alliance orchids.
ReplyDeletePerhaps I'm less jaded, but I think it's a gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteShe sure is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one too chicken to enlarge the photo? I have this fear that it will lead to nightmares about being chased by giant Orchids with legs. Hmmm, perhaps I should talk to someone about that...
I really like this orchid. Not really elegant or show stopping, but fun. It looks like it couldn't decide which colour best expressed it's bright and cheerful personality!
