A small show from a comparatively recently repotted no ID Morrisons oncidium/former odontoglossum? purchase. Smells like church incense. 😍

Maybe Oncostele PuaKana, but not at all sure on ID.

#oncidium #orchids

Glossy burgundy oncidium-type orchid bloom face-on but at a slight angle to the camera, with with a slightly redder lip, with pink 'shoulders' and a white base/tip, as well as the characteristic yellow 'toothy' projection on the lip. Smells like Catholic church incense.

#Oncidium Sharry Baby is well known for its highly fragrant flowers. A reliable bloomer, this plant smells strongly of #chocolate.

and for something different, this #oncidium #orchid has just quietly been growing a hyuuuge bloom spike, and buds are finally opening!!

the bloom spike of an orchid with 2 of 7 buds open. the flower is star-shaped with relatively thin pointed petals, and a wide apron-like lip, that’s tinted a pale purple. tje petals are white, and purple and yellow speckling is present near the center

a close up of a fully open flower, with pointy white petals with a blush of purple at the edges, a yellow center, and a broad white lip that’s lightly purple with bright purple spots on it

a close up of a partially open flower, the petals haven’t got any purple yet, the sepals and “normal” petals have no purple yet, and the lip hasn’t fully unfurled yet, still partially folded up like it was enclosed in the bud

Just some quick, sloppy pics to share the #orchids in my collection that are presently in #bloom. Despite the evidence to the contrary, I'm not usually a fan of pink flowers.

Hi #orchid peeps. The little green lump that I posted a couple of weeks ago is about double in size. If it’s not a spike developing I don’t know what it could be. (For non-orchid peeps, a spike is a flower stem.)

Second pic shows ordinary new growth, tiny tiny green leaves at the base of older ones.

This is a #stick-mounted #Oncidium (Tolumnia) urophyllum.

I’ll put a link to first post in comments.

Green (lorchid leaves glistening with water droplets. They are slightly yellow green, normal for this species. Just right if the approximate center, there is a rounded green lump emerging between the leaves. In the background, dark brown moss and fine roots are visible.

Closeup of small green pointed leaves at the base of older leaves.

I think I might have a flower spike emerging…there’s a little rounded shape. I have tiny green leaves too, that don’t show in the photo. This is a stick-mounted Oncidium (Tolumnia) urophyllum that I’ve owned since last July.
The second photo, showing most of the plant, is being photo bombed by #Scamp.

Closeup of small green orchid plant with pointed leaves. A yellow markup arrow points to new growth with a more rounded shape. The plant’s brown and white roots, which almost cover the surface of a stick of wood, can be seen behind the leaves.

A wider view of the same orchid, with a gray tabby sitting in the background, looking up. A white printed plant tag crosses the upper right corner. Some tiny new leaves are peeking out from behind larger leaves near the top center.

My dancing ladies.
