In bloom...

This is fun. All of my equitant Oncidiums are blooming now except for one. They're the only Onc.'s that do well for me (and the Sweet Sugar). I particularly love these because of their shapes...they look like mini Vandas with the fanned leaves...very pretty. The one that is just now beginning to bud has been in spike the longest, about 2 months and is over 2 ft. Anyway, thought I'd share these pics with you.




oooops...forgot about this one:



and this one too...

Very nice!
I have only two of these and they are in flower too. I like them because they don't take much space (mine are mounted) and looks like easy to grow. And yours are so beatiful....

Ooh, I am now having a hard time waiting for mine to get here. Must be a cheery sight to see all of those blooms.

GORGEOUS!!! Well done Sandra... they are all glorious! You should put them all together and take a pic for the Contest (Floral Display). What a wonderful sight they must be.

I especially love the ones with the pink skirts! I've always had difficulty getting them to bloom so I bought one in bloom. They are so light and airythey remind me of butterflies. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Nancy, the more I ignore these, the better they do. I have all of them in mini Vanda baskets, tied in, no medium. I just mist the roots daily and they bloom a few times a year, in fact they've more than doubled in size since last year. All but one, are multiple spikers. Butterflies...I see what you say. They've always reminded me of the can-can dancers.

Thanks everyone else for the thumbs up.

I want a Tolumnia garden too. I think I'm going to buy out the greenhouse the next time I go. Oh no! Just like potato chips. You can't have just one!
