Oncidium Jungle Monarch

**matheius** · September 25th, 2012, 07:34 AM

After surviving a trip to ---Vendor information removed - see faqs on posting --- my treat was a few Oncidiums A Nelly Isler, a NOID (photos for ID later) and this one: 'Jungle Monarch' (is this correct?). The flowers have a white lip but a few have a cream lip instead.
Of course, being bagged up the flowers are all over the place but the newest pseudobulb is huge and there is a new growth just shooting which was my main reason for choosing this one. The very sweet, caramel like scent is strongest at midday and through the afternoon.

Excellent! Thanks for the info on the name change, Orchidman . I have a NOID from the same shopping trip (also, now, Oncostele I'd imagine). I'll post a few photos here soon to see if any one can shed any light on the name.
