I'm new to this forum and this is my first post, so "HI EVERYBODY!"
I bought this oncidium several years ago at Home Depot with no flowers or spikes. It bloomed after two years and is now in it's second bloom with two spikes. I want to identify and tag it. I'd be most appreciative if someone can tell me what it is, please.
I could mine identify as Carmela thanks to the tag with the growers website on it.
Mine smell's so good and it flowers quit long!
Did you notice it's smell?
I thought I was going to lose it from over-watering, when it developed a fungus that caused several of the pseudobulbs to get big black spots. I cut back a bit on watering, but then some of the newer leaves were got wavy. I think that's a sign of too little water. Just when I figured this is an unhappy plant, a spike appeared. With that one in full bloom, another spike started to shoot up. I never noticed a fragrance.
Hello June,
mine smells the most when the sun is shining. Now the buds are open for several weeks the smell is easy to notice. I can smell it when I'm 6-8 foot away from the plant.
If yours doens't smell it might be a different plant. although they look the same. I've never read that Carmela smell's so mabye mine isn't what it looks like :-)
