Oncidopsis Nelly Isler 'Swiss Beauty'

[JScott]

I was ordering from Seattle Orchids a while back, and they were offering free shipping on orders over 60 dollars. The two things I really wanted got me up to 45, so I had to pick something else to get to 60 for the free shipping. It would have been financially irresponsible not to. This was the third plant I picked, and I've seen pictures of it before, and I've always thought it was pretty enough, but it didn't make my heart sing, so I wasn't sure how much I would like it. Anyway, the flowers just started opening, and oh my gosh they are stunning. I absolutely love it. I think this picture shows the color better than any of the other pictures I've seen. It's a deeper red, less orange than I was expecting. It is just amazing.
