Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'
This is my only Onc. alliance plant I own and Im always reminded why I own it when I smell that fragrance!  I swear, this is the only orchid I own that makes me want to eat it!!  As you can see in one of the pics, my rabbit feels the same way!! Thanks for looking. |

Nice show!! Last year when mine bloomed like that, it was producing some honey due, which I did eat. Yum yum. Ok, tasted.

Oh, I forgot to say, this is my second big bloom this year. Is that normal for these guys?? Can I look forward to this incredible scent every 6 months??

Hi! My name is Monica. My boss got a Sharry Baby for his birthday about a month ago and we all enjoyed it being in the office! Now the blooms are all gone and I find myself in charge of it and what to do with it now! Help, please!

My Sharry Baby likes plent of light (all the time) and plenty of water and fertilizer, but only when its growing. I think good light levels and good humidity (60%+) are very important for these guys. After blooming, mine usually rests for a while and then begins a new growth so I can have more flowers in about 6 months. Overall, however, I would say that these guys are fairly forgiving and easy to grow. Good luck!

Hi Monica, Mine lost all of its flowers about a month ago and it has already spiked again. I have mine outside facing south and I water 1 once a week if it does not rain, and fert. 2 a month with half strengh MSU. I live in S. Fl. so the cold is not a problem yet!
Good luck and let us know how you do.
