No ID Oncidium - found the trick
Had this one for a couple of years and was never able to get it to bloom. I put it outside this summer and that seemed to do the trick!  |

I have an Oncidium "Gower Ramsey" that should look alot like that one of yours, and I can't get it to bloom either. I most definitely will throw it outside this summer! Thanks for sharing your secret to success!

It may not be the answer for all
orchids, but, in my situation, I have no choice except to put my orchids outside in the front yard. It faces south, but I have two very large trees in my front yard. ( 60-70 feet tall) They provide dappled shade for my orchids and they like being outside, where they put on all kind of foliar growth. |

I forgot to add this-
my greenhouse gets too hot in the summer time to leave the orchids in there. Sometimes it's 100 to 120 degrees, and I can't think of any orchids that would like that. |
