I have this plant that is in the Oncidium/Odontoglossum Alliance and it is a mini as the flowers are only 1cm X 2cm it does have a slight smell

and it is real a smallish plant. Any Clue?

Thanks
Roland

Wow, it is absolutely stunning! The form made me think of Lava Burst, but the colors didn't match. I didn't know there were different cultivars of Lava Burst! So so pretty.

Cultural conditions can affect the colors somewhat and of course photographic technique, conditions, software, monitors - everything singly or in combination can give you a different "view" of the same......

Many Thanks for the info on the name

. My wife bought a tray of 8 orchids for $25.00 and this is one of them only 4 had names and as soon as the others start blooming I will try to get their names. Again Many Mahalos for you kokua.
