Thanks, Tucker85.
I will post pictures when these little buds open up.
They look really great in bloom but I have hard time getting good pictures of them. The white part of the flowers always come out wrong. will try my best though.

I'm excited about the scent more than anything!

The flowers began to open yesterday.
This plant likes to open a bunch of flowers open at the same time unlike many other oncidiums that open one at a time successively.
I can already sense the sweet sharry baby like fragrance today! mmm~~~

Let's go make some coffee to go along with that.

I still can't take a decent picture of this plant. The flowers look so much better in person. The white portion really shines making them so attractive in contrast the dark chocolate part.

The other spike is now showing up some buds. It is a lot bigger than this one, which is nice!

Both good plants, but way larger than anything I can handle.

My Sharry Baby was a monster size! It stood about two feet tall, and spikes would reach 6 feet!!!
As much as I loved it, I gave it away. just too big!
when I get a larger space, I would love to have Sharry Baby again.

This plant, Heaven Scent, is a little over one foot tall, so it's pretty managable for me so far. It will soon become quite big (horizontally), but then I plant to divide and keep it small.

the second spike is about to explode with even more flowers very soon!!!

Smells so sweet! gotta love it!

still have hard time with taking correct pictures though.
The first shot came out nice, but one flower closeup.
The second one is too saturated with light now showing the beautiful white lips. oh, well...
