Oncidium chrysomorphum orchid x Oda.(Cherubino x Wearside Pattern)

There are many hundreds of handsome hybrids made with Oncidium orchids and with closely to them related genera. Some of them quite complex and complicated and this is one of them. It's Onc. Chrysomorphum x Oda. (Cherubino x Wearside Pattern) and it's currently in flower.

My orchid flowers at the end of our autumn/ early winter with masses of bright, yellow/orange blooms with many long flowering arching spikes that about 50 cm long. It's slightly fragrant, just a hint of cinnamon , not overpowering and very pleasing. It's always nice to see vibrant flamboyant colors in autumn and winter and I get my "color therapy" fix from this one.

Despite its complicated background it's quite easy to cultivate and to bring it to flower, it like well-drained bark mix and plenty of moisture during warm weather with less watering during colder months. It can be mounted on tree-fern slabs or cork mounts.

It's another beautiful orchid to have in one's collection that rewards with exotic, special, colorful, flamboyant blooms.

I am encouraged to try an Oncidium after reading your post today. I saw one like this at the botanical gardens and am getting the courage to get beyond my Phanaenopsis. Oncidium are commonly sold here, so I guess I just need to give it a try. Maybe aa beauty like you showed.

These are brilliant. I never knew how the flower is called, though we have it growing in my grandmother's garden for ages.

Of all the plant groups, orchids are easily the most popular for cultivation and they have a huge following of devout enthusiasts in most countries in the world. Here in Australia they have almost a cult following - we have more than sixty orchids societies that promote and coordinate all aspects of their cultivation.

I have been growing orchids since my early teens and I am still a devoted disciple of this magical group of plants. This blog borne out of a desire to share some of this magic.

Orchids are the most fascinating group of plants and the cultivation of orchids has been described as a disease of the obsession with which one pursue new plants for the collection.
