Rodrumnia?!

[myshka]

I am very strongly considering buying this:

Oak Hill Gardens

I've spent the last hour searching online for some relatively specific information about this hybrid, but there doesn't seem to be much available. Or maybe I'm just not searching for the right thing?

I wanna be sure that I can provide the proper environment before I buy it. Could someone point me in the right direction or maybe give some suggestions? Thanks in advance!

You grow them just like a Tolumnia.

ahh.. i didn't realize Tolumnia was the unofficial sub-division of Oncidium.

all these names and groups are a bit confusing.

It isn't really unofficial... Tolumnia is the accepted genus name for a group of small growing things that used to be called equitant oncidiums. Rodrumnias are a hybrid between Rodriguezia and Tolumnia - they have similar plant appearance and growing conditions.

As far as I know, there are no hybrids between tolumnia and 'mainstream' oncidiums. Somebody prove me wrong, I have to do a talk on this next week...
