Collection of NOIDS!

[Wynn Dee13]

Have you looked at the roots on the plants that have shriveled pbulbs? It sounds like dehydration. If you bought them in tightly packed moss and noticed it too late you probably have root rot. In that case your plants need to grow some more roots and they only will grow from new bulbs. If you haven't already, repot them. I grow my Oncidium hybrid in medium bark. You can add a bit of shopped sphagnum moss to the bark too. I water when the plant is completely dry but don't let the pbulbs shrivel (of course that is watering a plant with a healthy root system). I don't grow many Oncidiums so hopefully someone who grows them more can help. Good luck!

It is Onc. Tsiku Marguerite -- no doubts.

I think it's always better not to put a definite label on plants that didn't come with one. Even in the short time I've been growing I've seen many nearly identical but different plants, and very different flowers on plants I've grown in different conditions. And if you are identifying from photos on the internet it can be very misleading: some can be near identical except for size or growth habit that you can't see in a photo of the flower, even if that photo gets the colour acurately, which they often don't.

How I handle my noids with a possible ID is I give them 'noidus' as a grex name and the id as a clone name. Eg I have a Phal noidus 'Manhattan Rose'. And you'd have an Onc. noidus 'Tsiku Marguerite'. I think having a Paph noidus 'Lady Maudiea' would be fabulous! (Alba, coloratum and vini are descriptions of colour, and can apply to Maudieas and any other paphs)

well I have doubts

<hint> (never say something you will have to eat later)

Just saw mine beginning to bloom today -- with pink -- first bloom, too

I just saw one exactly like that one pictured above, yesterday at the society meeting -- so I was "sure" I knew what I was talking about..

crow can be tasty -- any BBQ sauce??

The rootstock is large and very healthy on all of them... right now they are all potted in bark... I repotted them the moment I rotted their new growth rotted....
I've been watering when the media gets near dry...

I love the ID of Noidus in front...
Everyone will think it sounds so official.
I'll have to think of a new name for everything!!

And I know I said I would update with my new purchases but life got ahead of me.

So its a few days late.. Since all the new orchids are phals I think I'm going to make a thread for them in the Phal section.
Thank you all!
This is more info than I ever hoped for.
