Epic Oncidium Orchid haul – My favorite intergenerics!
It rarely happens that I find orchids I really want to have at the flower shop. Today is one of those rare days!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Oncidium orchids (generally) and specifically their intergeneric hybrids have been my favorite group in my early orchid growing days, but these orchids are not as resilient as Phalaenopsis. Especially in my very warm climate, they do need some special attention.
So I actually lost the vast majority of them in the moving process and then getting used to clayu medium.. which they never did actually. So I was on a mission to redo my collection! Easier said than done, these orchids are rare in my area. Until today!
Beallara (Aliceara), Wilsonara and other intergenerics, they were all right there waiting for me!
