Growing like a weed...
this orchid has been around for about 25years,my father gave it to me a few years ago and its been growing like a weed and has bloomed beautifully this year as you can see.i also took a piece off and gave it a nice spot on our tree out front where it seems to be very happy.

Beautiful! Do you grow it outdoors all year? I guess you do if it's mounted on the tree. Do you know the name of it? Great growing! I wish I had an heirloom like that!

Awsome! It looks like Oncidium sphacelatum. I have one that's just starting to bloom. It's the orchid worlds version of Kudzu. It just grows like crazy and becomes a monster in few years. I love the way you used it in the landscape. Very nice.

its a florida native Oncidium and i live in south florida so this big guy is happy outside all year long,i appreciate the fact they can be outdoors and thrive.ive made several driftwood mounts and given them to friends and family and they do great outside but have also done realy well indoors to.

Oh! Then I need to adjust my thinking on mine then. I've been keeping it inside because I didn't think it would like outdoor heat.

Thanks for the beautiful flowers. Yes naturally this species will grow like a weed . And this one can grow on ground level even no need to mount .
This is called Kandian dancer .
