Oncidium coloratum

[estación seca]

What temperatures does it handle? I see Francisco Miranda has them as well, under the name Carriella colorata.

The current synonyms for Gomesa colorata are:
Oncidium coloratum
Carria colorata
Carriella colorata
Baptistonia colorata

Just gotta love all the changes being done to the Oncidiinae!

Currently it's in the 20-25 C (65-78 F) and the humidity where it is currently growing stays around 70%.

The second bud opened yesterday. Whatever it's name I'm so happy with this little orchid!

Thanks! How hot and cold does it ever get for you?

San Diego stays mild most of the year daytime temps between 60-85 F (16-29 C) nights can get cold 44-19 F (26-7 C), but generally stay well above frost or plant damaging temperatures at night.

I am about 7 miles from the coast so several weeks a year we will get sustained heat close to 100 F (35-37 C) for a week or more at a time.

I grow all of my miniatures inside so everything stays in the daytime temps range all year, I don't have central air conditioning so I try not to buy and cool growing plants. I have my Catts, Onc, Ond, Phals, and everything else outside in a protected part of the garden April-September. I move them to the porch where it is more protected from the Santa Ana winds and the temperature stays more even September-April.

Really cute one.

This is just so cute! I've been looking, not found one yet. Maybe a phone call to Andy.

Wow, that is wild!
