Oncostele Eye Candy 'Pinkie'

[Kim in CT]

Wait, I have one that looks like this and it was labeled Colmanara, which I crossed out and wrote in Oncostele. Where does that fit into the mix? (Sorry, WW)

The place to look up names of hybrids is orchidroots.com. They show the currently accepted name of crosses. If you go there and search on Burrageara Eye Candy it shows the currently accepted name is Oncostele Eye Candy.

Burrageara (Burr.) was the nothogenus (artificial genus) for intergeneric hybrids between the orchid genera Cochlioda, Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium. Since most Cochliodas and Odontoglossums were moved into Oncidium, Burrageara is no longer used.

Looking at the species ancestors at Orchidroots, I can see all the ancestors that were once called Miltonia have also been moved into Oncidium. So all its ancestors are now called Oncidium or Rhynchostele, and it's an Oncostele.

The name Burrageara was correctly given at the time. You don't need to update labels if you don't want to.

I don't change tags... keeps my mind agile, storing a mental database of genera. (Primarily for species, hybrids move this effort into headache territory ) Only need to keep up with the genus du jour if you are submitting for judging...

Here ya go Diane! Finally remembered to take a picture of 'Orange Kiss'... gonna leave out all the other names preceding it, because my head finally stopped hurting. Spike started out upright, and slowly sank to horizontal with weight of blooms.

Lovely display, they are definitely worth the wait for blooms.
