Oncidium ornithorhynchum 'Lilac Soap'
I got this little cutie today (well sort of!). My sister in Calgary picked it up from Paramount for me. But she gets to enjoy the blooms for now and will deliver it to me at Christmas time. She lives 650 km. away so I have to wait. But she sent me a couple pics of it!

Thanks all, I just hope there are some flowers left by the time I get it, but she won't be here till Christmas day so who knows. My sister said this 'Lilac Soap' was a bit deeper colour than the regular species plant she saw there without the clonal name. It might smell soapier if it's name and my sister's opinion counts for anything  |

Your sis is no dummy! She gets to enjoy the flowers and then give the plant to you. LOL
