Colmanara Samurai - How to?

[Corwin]

I just bought one and wanted to know the best growing conditions for this orchid (It's a Miltonia - Oncidium - Odontoglossum hybrid but... that's all I know)

It looks like this one : (The photo on the right)

Hi Corwin. I have a Colm Wildcat, and it's one of the easiest to grow orchids I have. It gets moderately bright light, average house temps., and humidity around 50%. I grow mine in sphagnum moss in a clay pot, letting it dry out slightly between waterings. It is now out growing a 12 inch pot, and is almost always in spike, or flower. Have fun with yours, they are really neat plants.

There is no registered hybrid Colmanara Samurai. I'd guess it's Bakerara Samurai. While a comanara is (miltonia x oncidium x odontoglossum), bakerara adds brassia to the mix.

Grow it the same as colmanara.

Thanks Ray
I looked at the RHS and could not find it either

Another name i found that could apply to this orchids is Ondotonia Samurai (it looks a lot like it)

Edit : Yeah Ondotonia Samurai is the old name of the Bakerara Samurai
