Onc Ornithorhynchum spikes
 

Hi,
Guess what's popped up over the last couple of days? Two spikes on my little Onc :) I bought this when it was a baby and, to be honest, I thought that it was still too small for spikes this year and was holding out for next year. Clearly I was wrong and now I have two spikes to watch grow over the coming weeks. This my only Oncidium so I'm quite excited!

Your plant is very nicely grown. It will put on a good show once it starts blooming. Post a picture when the flowers open.

good job! it looks very healthy, and will be beautiful when blooming be sure to post new pictures of it....good growing!

Congtats on the spikes, can't wait to see the bloom pictures!

Thanks guys :) Yes, I'll definately post when I get the blooms :)

Fab! That was one of the very first orchids I grew. :D

Congratulations! I am looking forward to seeing the blooms.

Jennyfleur, it that a Ficus religiosa behind the Oncidium? I am growing some form seed along with Ficus bengalensis (that seems more vigorous and faster growing). Anyway I have the same Oncidium, similar size or a tad smaller. Hope it blooms. My Onc Twinkle just rebloomed but a lot less flowers than last year and shorter spikes. wondering why. But been craving the O ornithorynchum for long. Happy with the one IO got from Oakhill

woo hoo! :wtg:

Thanks for the encouragement everyone :)

What a wonderful thought. Unfortunately, however, it's not as exotic as that! When possible, I take my chids outside into the garden to photograph and, for this one, I used one of the lilac trees :)
