Zelenkoa onusta

[catttan]

Thanks for sharing with I never seen or heard about this beauty.

It looked familiar though the name Zelenkoa was not, and then I found out that it was called Oncidium onustum previously.

Wonderful photography Branka! I am glad Tom's advice worked out so well. That's a beautiful yellow with a lip that looks finely etched. AL

Agreed! Lovely orchid blooms Branka!

Cheers,

Beautiful.

Beautiful shots! I love this species--it stays small but makes such a showy inflorescence. I've had mine in the same 3 in clay pot since I bought it four years ago.

Thanks for the message link Paph. Indeed hooray for toms input, sounds like some pretty important advice on this orchid. Will definetly keep note of that one! Couldnt bare to miss that spectacular show up top and have to wait so long for another 50/50 chance. Shall go for the cork mount strategy since the dry root v moist root plays a significant role.

Its great that our own learning curves, whatever extent, can be past on and increase the odds of avoiding disappoitment for the new grower/ first grow attempt!

Habenaria radiata, it is a rather splendid flower isnt it?

[HHLL38]

Absolutely splendid, however, after seeing the culture requirements, I don't think i'll ever look at it the same again!
