This hybrid has been awesome. I bought it 3 months ago with a set of flowers, this second set has been on for over 2 months, even in the hottest time of south florida, and 2 more spikes over ready to set.

Nice one!! Is that a cycad I see in the background on the left side of picture?

Thanks guys,

It's a leather palm, not sure of it's proper name. I started out with 15 seedlings, and have culled it down to two. Even then I whack them up and remove the seed cones. These things will over take your yard in a heart beat.

Did you also see the Vanilla growing up the coconut palm?

No I did not see the vanilla but I do now! Always wanted one of those!!

I love this yellow as well. I really need to get out and find someone with some good Oncs. Noone seems to carry them relatively locally. Where did you get yours?

I got this beaut from a roadside vendor down in the Goulds on Chrome Ave (south dade Florida).

If I lived closer to all those orchid growers down south, I'd be a pauper. So, it's a good thing they are over an hour away (yeah I know, not really that far).
