    Default Oncidium Ornithorhyncum

    Any flower that smells like chocolate is awesome in my book!

    An awesome species but doesn't like our lowland heat.

    A very interesting species for the small flowers and the magical scent.

    John: I have this orchid as well and have always enjoyed the profusion of flowers it produces. I wanted to mention that there is some confusion with the name. If you look at the IOSPE website, it suggests that the name Onc. ornithorhynchum belongs to a yellow flowered species. The pink flowered species should be Onc. sotoanum according to the website. Apparently there was some confusion in the classification process.

    Nice shot. Cute little flowers. Can't remember ... isn't this in Sharry Baby's lineage?
