Prima ballerina

I can't believe it was named Onc. John Louis Shirrah
'Profusion' The lip looks like the most delicately pleated silk skirt which it gets from hyphaematicum. A true dancing lady orchid.

It is a primary hybrid of Onc. ornithorhynchum and Onc. hyphaematicum, my favorite oncidium hybrid. The fragrance is unique with delicate floral notes and reminds me of Linden flowers. The third picture is the somewhat similar Onc. Sharry Baby for comparison. The difference in the shape of the lips and the bright yellow callus is obvious.

It has been in water culture for 3+ years.
