Looking for fragrant Oncidium species (butterfly type) Male
Smile Looking for fragrant Oncidium species (butterfly type)

Hello to all! I'm Greg, just joined here today.

Just a short introduction. I'm relatively new to the orchid world. Only four years experience here.

Collection: Lowes-bought phalaenopsis, Laelia Cinnabarina, Noble type dendrobium, Sedirea Japonica, and some unidentified cymbidium.

Now to the question. I'm on the search for a fragrant oncidium. I'm well aware of 'Sharry Baby' and the 'fantasy' types, but really love the dancing ladies. I'm particularly interested in Onc. Obryzatum but it seems impossible to find one for sale. Onc. cheirophorum is nice but really love the spotting on the petals.

Does anyone know of anymore fragrant, yellow, spotted varieties that are more readily accessible?

Any input/inquiries would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm not sure which of the Psychopsis are fragrant, but I know some are. They have exactly the kind of flower you're looking for.

online is a good suggestion. You should also contact the nurseries and ask them direct.
I haven't come across a really nice scented yellow in my nursery travels. You either get the fragrance or the flower, hardly ever both.
I did see a gomesa at Hausermann's - miniature - but not in flower.....not sure if it was a varicosum which is another spectacular dancing lady type.
