Two new Oncidium Intergeneric Hybrids

[Orquiadicto]

Today I bought myself two new plants. A Colmanara Wildcat MASAI RED and a Burrageara Nelly Isler.
As I suspected that they would have a big sphagnum ball in the centre of the root mass I decided to repot them immediately even though they are both in bloom. Here a few pictures of the process:







A nice new growth. I hope to get blooms from it in it's due time.





After all, there was no sphagnum ball in the centre of the roots. Once untangled, it looked almost like a Vanda with its long strong roots. It was quite a job getting them all back in the original pot.

The Burrageara Nelly Isler did have the sphagnum ball between the roots and I've lost more than one plant because of this. This is how it looked like:






Hopefully the repotting hasn't affected her and the two spikes without flowers develop well and bloom.
