It kind of grows on you!
I think I maybe posted a picture of this before, but this "thing" seem to grow on you (or at least me). This is an unregistered hybrid of Odcdm Harry Sutton and Onc. leucochilum. While the individual flower form is only so-so, I absolutely love the color and most of all the arrangement. It almost looks as if someone hung the flowers on the plant like it was a Christmas tree. This is the second blooming of this plant this year.

Those flowers are beautiful Jerry, form and color! It looks like a vine, to me. Wondering if this growing freely or is it staked?
Enjoy!

Thanks for the comments everyone. Sandy, yes it is staked, but I did not stake it until the first blooms were just about to open. When I staked it it was still supporting the inflorescence OK but I had to move it to the center bench because of the height. The center bench rolls side to side to create a passage way and it kept falling over due to the swaying of the spike. I don't really know if it would have supported its self with out the stake. |
