New orchids! Male
Default New orchids!

Proud owner of two new orchids. One is a Miltassia C.M. Fitch 'Izumi', the other is an Oncidium. I purchased these from Atlantic Garden Center (Raleigh, NC) which has a great selection of orchids. If anyone has additional info on care and biology of these orchids (especially the second one, which doesn't have a tag), I'd much appreciate it!

beautiful!

I think the second may be Beallara (an Oncidium alliance intergeneric, like Miltassia)

For both, keep lightly moist, moderately bright light

The vendor said they like to be root-bound, so I won't need to repot for a long time, she said.

Gorgeous finds! My local garden center sells some nice plants like that, but it's not very often. Love the leopard spotting on the Miltassia!

Gorgeous. I can't help much on culture except to agree with others that the second one is something in the Oncidium/Odontocidium Alliance and the general care of those is likely to be the best place to start.

Both of them are gorgeous! I especially love the 2nd one. It does look like a miltassia hybrid and likely the miltonia part would give it the lovely lip.
