Equitant award
 

This little guy was awarded this weekend. HCC/AOS. I posted a different picture last week or so, and decided to take it to judging Saturday.

Waiting for Orchidom to give me a name for the grex, it is Rdcm. (Orchidom Red Love x Aleka) 'Littlefrog Sweet Caroline'.

Rob, that's stunning! I need one of those!!! :banana:
Congrats to you on the award! :clap:

Well, I've got lots and I think I'll order more...

It may be because they do well for me, but I think equitant oncidiums are some of the most rewarding plants I own. They grow well, stay pretty small, and bloom like weeds. I'd trade virtually all my other oncidium hybrids for equitants in a heartbeat.

I'm going to your site right now...one of these babies has my name on it! :cheer:
Thanks, Rob :)

Rob, I don't see this particular one on the site...am I looking in the wrong place? :scratchhead:

Rob, would you hold one of those for me? I'll come down and pick it up in April.

I only have the one really nice one, and I'm not ready to divide it. But I probably have several of the same cross, if that is good enough. They are quite variable.

On the website I just have listed 'growers choice'. I have about 10 different hybrids and it was easier that way. But if you wanted a specific cross, you could just make a note of it.

Actually I've never bloomed an equitant that wasn't worth having...

How about I come down to Lansing in April after my Florida trip and we'll discuss? I'd really like to phase over to smaller plants and I REALLY like that Red!

Congratulations Rob ...
That is one flat flower! How many flowers, buds per inflorescence? Measurements? Obviously, I'm eager to read the award description.

Hi Rob :)
It's the bold red of this bloom that blows me away! Do you have any others of this color? :pray:

You know, I don't think I ever got the award sheet for it. Hmm... I didn't measure it, so I don't know. Two spikes, both about equivalent, so you could count the flowers and buds in the picture and double it.
