**Oncidiums**
I Have several Oncidiums blooming and wanted to post all of them at the same time.
This NoID Brassia is very easy to care for and blooms three times a year from every pseudobulb! Talk about over achiever!

Next is a Tolumnia Genting volcano that is suppose to be more red than it is in this picture. This is it's second blooming under my care and it has tripled it's growth size and flower spike length and count. very easy plant too! I hanged it on a Dracaena tree that I have for display

Oncidium Speckeled spire 'snowflake' is another easy to care for plant that smells amazing specially when the sun hits it's flowers. Flowers look like snowflakes indeed!

Last is my newly purchased Alcra. hilo ablaze 'hilo gold' I purchased from Rays website. I really love the blooms on this one. Very exotic and charming! the flowers could reach up to 4" across. This looks like a young plant and it is it's first time blooming. I could just imagine how many 4" blooms it can put out once it gets bigger and stronger!

I improved my overall culture with my plants compared to the previous years and I noticed the results with the blooms and bigger pseudobulbs. |

They're all great. What did you do to improve your Oncidium culture? I am keeping mine more moist and thinking it might be better, but not sure yet.

Lots of water and light during the growing season. I found that oncidiums will bloom under phal light but very poorly. I introduced it to light levels short of burning for oncidiums and that contributed to flower quantity and quality. I don't go crazy in fertilizing either. |

Well done, these are fabulous! I almost got Speckled Spire recently at a show, you've made me regret not getting it.  Love the Hilo Ablaze too. What's the best thing you think you've done for your Tolumnia? I've got two (not including the two new ones), one currently in bloom, and while they seem to be doing alright they don't grow so fast and crazy as I've heard many say. I'm wondering what best to do to increase its growing though mostly I assume it's the fact that I don't water enough. I do keep it in bright light. |
