Oncidium & Intergeneric Hybrids
Oncidium,
abbreviated as Onc. in the horticultural trade, is a genus that
contains about 330 species of orchids from the subtribe Oncidiinae of
the orchid family (Orchidaceae). This is a complex, difficult genus,
with many species being reclassified. Calls are made for splitting this
genus into multiple genera. Description This genus was first
described by Olof Swartz in 1800 with the orchid Oncidium altissimum,
which has become the type species. Its name is derived from the Greek
word "onkos", meaning "swelling". This refers to the callus at the lower
lip. Most species in the Oncidium genus are epiphytes, although
some are lithophytes or terrestrials. They are widespread from northern
Mexico, the Caribbean, and some parts of South Florida to South
America. They usually occur in seasonally dry areas.[ by Wikipedia]
Unless otherwise indicated, all of the following are MATURE, blooming size plants that have BLOOMED AT LEAST ONCE PREVIOUSLY and should bloom within a year in their upcoming blooming season.

Onc. Sharry Baby 'Velvet Maroon' This is a new clone of Onc. Sharry Baby, with a pinkish lip rather than a white lip being the primary difference. Although flower spikes are a little bit shorter, this clone is also fragrant, a very vigorous grower and profuse bloomer. Definitely a MUST HAVE for all orchid lovers, particularly those who also are chocolate lovers!!! |

Pictured is Onc. Sweet Sugar Onc. Gower Ramsey This is the bright yellow "Dancing Dolls" orchid that has been around for years and still a favorite of many!!! Very similar to the pictured Onc. Sweet Sugar, except the skirt (lip) is not as large. Tall flower stems are heavily branching carrying, several dozens of blooms. Quite a sight when in full bloom!!!
