Wow. Is that about a ton of staghorn fern along with the orchid?

Hell's bells!!!! O__O
In my place the climate is very mild and a lot of Oncidium species, Dendrobiums and others can live outdoor even in the coldest winter (we have minimum temperatures of about 6°C, ~40°F)...
Now I'm trying to grow something outdoor in slabs because I don't have a garden  , if I had just one single tree it'd be covered with orchids |

I guess you guys were as impressed as I was LOL. Epyphite is right Camille it is an Oncidium sphacelatum. Susanne, I was so overwhelmed with the orchid and the tree, I didn't care about the house anymore, my memory of it is hazy except that it had a big yard and a big lot for lots more orchids. Oh yeah I remember thinking the area where the tennis court is would be perfect for a shadehouse  |

[QUOTE=epiphyte78;318241]
Here are a couple other photos of the same orchid growing on other trees...
Oncidium on Tree 1
Oncidium on Tree 2
I wonder if that's the same tree years ago? |

OMG.
I would buy the house just for that! I wish I could grow orchids in my trees : ( The northern Utah winters are inhospitable  |

That's incredibly beautiful, even if I'm not an oncidium or yellow fan. Gorgeous though. |

I'm with you guys, when I showed it to my wife she liked the house and wondered about the price. I said who cares look at that tree, I'd buy just for the tree.  |

Looks like a giant swarm of bees. What a sight - nothing even close to that in New England.
Tennis court!?? Some people's priorities are all wrong. You could put a heirloom greenhouse on the same footprint as a tennis court.
What a tree. Thanks for sharing.
