Hi there everyone As you can see i live in northeast Georgia and just to let you know i have southern and western windows both of which are shaded at least some of the time by large trees. I've had one orchid before and kept it for quite a while but alas could not keep it alive.
That said i was at a Lowes store the other day and decided to get my mother an orchid for mother's day and in the process ended up with one for myself as well. Searching for the perfect plant for my mother i came across several which were in big plastic bags and were all tied up in nets. I had seen similar ones before but not being in bloom sort of looked over them. This time i spotted one with two small blooms on it! It caught my eye and i took it home with me.
Turns out it's an Oncidium Ampliatum
(funny the little tag said "Onc. Ampilatum")and i just wanted to get some feedback on what i should do to help this little guy survive long enough to bless me with a new spray of little yellow flowers.
On a side note i am curious what the info on the tag other than the species means. It reads "19437 ONC. AMPILATUM X SIBLING 8/11/06"
Thanks and i look forward to your feedback.
