Once these types mature a bit, they can grow like weeds, so give them a bit of room to grow when you repot (many also have very large pbulbs that take up a lot of space), but best to err on the side of smaller if you aren't sure.
I don't think that's a Sharry Baby, blooms look large, and not the right color, but can't be certain from the pix. Here's my Sharry Baby http://www.orchidboard.com/community...fragrance.html - different cultivars may vary slightly. Very large pbulbs, Looooooooong spikes with lots of approx 1" bloom, tho I suppose a younger plant may have shorter spikes, fewer blooms. Strong fragrance usually. You can also search Sharry Baby on OB to see what other members' look like, as well as look at images here https://www.google.com/search?q=onci...w=1280&bih=685

LOL thanks Camille - it's become a monster! The pix from that thread, it was in a 7" pot, which I had just moved it into last summer - a couple of months ago I potted it up AGAIN! into a 10" pot, which I think won't hold it longer than a year. And, found a new spike just recently  |

I used to have a Sharry Baby and I think TiffanyP's plant has too large of blooms too.
Sharry Baby is a very vigorous grower! Sonya, your plant must be a monster in that size of pot! It must like living in Cali!

Hehe, yes, a vigorous grower indeed! I got this 3 years ago, in a 4" pot - tho it was quite snug in that pot. It's been a trouper taking quite low night time temps outside in winter. |

By the way, I have this same plant. It's Wilsonara Aloha Sparks "Pele's Glow" Mine is growing very well, which is a nice surprise.
Good luck! |
for reference - here are images of Wils Aloha Sparks https://www.google.com/search?q=Wils...w=1280&bih=685, some look quite similar. You can check it out and see what you think |

The third...its a different Oncs all together. very large blooms but small in size. Pbulbs are small like my others on this forum.

They're all lovely! that last one could be a Wilsonara, tho they don't all have the same shape and size (I have one with largish, full blooms, but is the only Wils. I have seen that looks that way) |

Its funny, because I have not seen any that look like this since and it was actually my first Oncidium. It made me break my Phal obsession. It was always about 70 percent chance I'd make a Phal mad transferring it and 30 percent chance I wouldn't. I found its total opposite with my Oncidium alliance. I went back to that same store and left with Oncidiums again instead of Phals. Failed my first Zygo, didn't kill it but lost my blooms...after experiencing how resilient pbulb orchids are I find its so much more rewarding with pbulb orchids. Though I do wish it was different with Phals, but I fail more Times than succeed. I have not lost one of my Oncidium alliance. Just Phals.  |
