Looking for Pure-Yellow Japanese var. Oncidiums

[chiirioz]

Had a great opportunity to go to Japan and fell in love with Japanese Oncidiums...

I refer specifically the pure yellow oncidiums with smaller flowers that were so fragrant in the hotel lobby.
Here's a photo - sorry for the poor quality.

I think the variety is called "Honey Angel" or "Honey Drop" - the florals are similar to Gower Ramsey's "Pure Yellow" with no brown markings. Pure Yellow is available on Gower Ramsey's site so not sure how large it is in person. I liked the delicately small florals in the Japanese varietals .

I'm open to any pure-yellow oncidium flowers but finding it hard to get on ebay so wondering if anyone had sources.

One that's probably extraordinarily hard to find is the Haruri or Popcorn Ioncidium with the purple - yellow florals. I want it but I'm sure it comes with a high price-tag so happy if I can just find those all-yellow oncs.

Norman's has more information on Grower Ramsey:
Onc. Grower Ramsey 'Lemon Heart' AM/AOS ( x ) Orchids.com

It says the flowers are around 1.5'' which is pretty small. They also have a couple other pure yellow Oncidiums:

Onc. Mayfair 'Trinity' (Onc Fuchs Gold x Onc Gower Ramsey) Orchids.com
Onc. onustum ( x ) Orchids.com

I would recommend reading reviews on Norman's, I haven't purchased from them in a while.

Also, check out Tolumnia calochilum at Andy's
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Oncidium (Tolumnia) - calochilum

I can personally recommend Andy's - he's one of the best, IMO.

Hope this helps a little.

Great options! Thank you - I'll be making my purchases soon. Love the Lemon Heart - just a shame that it doesn't have a fragrance. I am absolutely certain that the ones in that lobby had a light, sweet fragrance - maybe it was the hotel itself. I know the one I work at sprays a fragrance int he lobby.

Thanks!

You're very welcome!

It's bad they aren't scented, they certainly look like they should be!
