Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Velvet Maroon'
Purchased on eBay from seller shermantp.
Arrived in spike, with the first flowers already open.
One simply cannot be a member of Orchid Board and not read, time and time again, about how wonderfully fragrant the Sharry Baby hybrids are. Unfortunately—and I don't know if it's because of the shock from shipping, the cultivar, or what—this one doesn't seem to have that powerful of a scent. I was expecting to smell the thing from across the room, but I can only get a hint of fragrance if I put my nose right up to the flowers, even in the bright light of midday.
Hopefully that will improve. If not, maybe someone will trade me a division of their 'Sweet Fragrance' cultivar for a division of this one
While not overwhelmingly fragrant, the flowers are still lovely, especially the pink-and-white lip that seems to be a bit different on each one.
