November: Who’s Open?

November 8th, 2005 by bbieber Leave a reply »

Who’s Open? is a new monthly/weekly blog post I’m gonna start doing that highlights an orchid I have open (in bloom).

This one is a typical Oncidium orchid with yellow flowers and a large palette lip. Sometimes referred to as a ‘dancing-lady’ because of the shape of the flowers. Although the Oncidium genus contains over 300 species, the trademark of the genus is the species Oncidium altissimum with yellow flowers and the most commonly known. This particular oncidium has medium sized pseudobulbs and develops a spray of yellow flowers that should last around a month.

… and that’s Who’s Open.
