Banfieldara Guilded Tower 'Mystic Maze'

[lightseeker01]

I picked up this beautiful orchid today but am not certain of its care requirements. It is a mix of Ada, Brassia and Odontglossum genera. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

Wow - gorgeous!

I'd go with general Oncidium alliance culture, unless someone has more specific culture advice - lightly moist media, moderate light, intermediate temps

Thanks so much! I guess that makes sense since I found this orchid in the oncidium greenhouse!

I looked on OrchidWiz but couldn't find it. It's lovely but maybe it is an un-registered name. I agree with WhiteRabbit, Oncidium care should be fine. Looks like a fair bit of Brassia influence.

The plant has been reclassified into Brascidostele. Are you sure youre plant is not Gilded Tower?
