Oncidium Tsiku Marguerite CT Romantic Fantasy

[naturalistSean]

This young but lovely little hybrid has a very pleasant fragrance. I imagine future blooms will be ever more full and prolific. It is also remarkably hardy. My 3 year old son has mistaken the flower buds for the elastically dehiscent fruit capsules of Impatiens glandulifera and has savagely squeezed them. Nevertheless it has bloomed.

Also, the name caused a bit of scrutiny from my wife when she noticed my computer was left on with a search that included "Romantic Fantasy". I can well imagine her eye roll when she discovered it was just me looking at orchids.

Thank you Ray. I've corrected it. Well at least in the title of the post. I don't know how to edit the title of the thread.

These little Oncidiums are always pleasant. And yes they do have a nice bubblegum scent.
