Not sure what this is. help decode the tag

[OrangeAugust]

I went to the orchid show at the New York Botanical Gardens today and bought a couple of orchids. I can't really decode what this tag says. Can someone help? and also give me some idea of how to care for it?
I'm attaching pics.

here's a pic of the plant

Very pretty. That's about all I can tell you. It is a complex hybrid.

Wilsonara Tiger Brew. There is a bit on line if you search that. Seems like it's a little picky about lighting, bright but not direct. Says it needs a rest in the winter. It's a hybrid of oncidium, odontoglossum and cochlioda

[silken]

Wilsonara Tiger Brew seems to be one parent. The other is (Com. spacetente x Oda. Remembrance topoa).

I can't find such a thing as Colm. spacetente and there is an old cross of Oda. Remembrance but don't know what the word topoa means.

I would say general Oncidium care would do.

If you can I would contact the seller and ask them about it.

I agree with silken to use Oncidium culture.
It’s a hybrid crossed with another hybrid
Wilsonara Tiger Brew is the seed plant
Colmanara spacenante crossed with Oncidioda Remembrance Topoa is the pollinated plant.
I am not familiar with any of these hybrids but you sure have a nice festive colored healthy plant there.

*'Topoa' must be capitalized since it is not a specie

Ok, thanks everyone!

[OrangeAugust]

Ok, the flowers on it are starting to die! Two of them are shriveling up and they're not the oldest ones. There are two other spikes that are full of buds and one of them only opened halfway and dried up. Why is this happening?! Will the other buds still open?

[Optimist]

Why? Because oncidium flowers last maybe six weeks then die. You are lucky that you have another spike preparing to open. Flowers are the way they are because they are attracting pollinators, not because they are pretty. They winter bloom because where they come from, that is when their polinators are hanging around.

It is just the particular life and growth cycle of the plant. The thing to be on the look out for are new leaf and bulb spikes, and new roots. Orchids grow slowly. Often one new bulb per year. During growth spurts, water more often and give lots of light. When the plant is not growing it is nearly hibernating. Less water, less light. They just kind of stall and reserve their energy.

I agree with Optimist. It's just the natural life cycle of the flowers. I have an Oncidium that is just starting to grow a new pbulb. I'll take a picture so you can see what that looks like.
