So obsessed with my Sharry Baby Orchid... Oncidium Sharry Baby is the Orchid most commonly referred to as the Chocolate Orchid. It has a strong chocolate scent. It is commonly found in two varieties, Sweet Fragrance and Red Fantasy. The “Sweet fragrance” has the strongest scent and larger flower while “Red Fantasy” is a smaller variety growing to only about 18 inches in height, whereas, Sweet Fragrance can be 6-10 inches taller. Red fantasy is slightly less fragrant than Sweet Fragrance but makes up for it with more flower spikes and more flowers.

Tolumnia Orchids.The group of orchids now called Tolumnia were at one time called Oncidium section Variegata or commonly referred to as "equitant oncidiums". The foliage seldom exceeds 6 to 8 inches in height, and a 4-inch pot can house a "specimen" plant. The leaves are arranged in pairs overlapping or straddling one another at the base, accounting for the popular term "equitant" (derived from the Latin word riding a horse). Most of the species produce growths at short intervals along the rhizomes, resulting in a compact, clumping growth habit. A few, however, possess elongated rhizomes that create rambling tangles of growth. Flowers are produced primarily in the spring on 12- to 18-inch inflorescences that are often branched on older plants. Some types have much shorter, bouquet-like displays. The short time it takes to reach flowering size (approximately 2 1/2 years from pollination to bloom) has enabled breeders to make significant advances in just a few years. @ Palacios, Texas

Psychopsis Mariposa, commonly nick-named the 'Giraffe Orchid', or Mariposa orchid (butterfly orchid). Psychopsis are fantastic orchids that produce flowers one after another on the same spike for 10-15 years. Never cut the flower spikes even if you should accidentally break one as they can branch below the break and continue to flower. The flowers last about three weeks before falling off and within another three weeks or so, another bud forms and repeats the process. This particular variety is the peloric form in which the petals have taken up the shape and size of the lip. This is easy to grow and flower plant will provide years of enjoyment... 🤗🌸🦋 @ Palacios, Texas
