Odontoglossum NOID
 

Here are a few pics of my Odontoglossum bougt yesterdy at the Barcelona Orchid Show-
I hope the buds on the second spike will open before those on the first spike fall off.

Really gorgeous, great choice!

Beautiful!

Thank you

Nice and strong. Your plant is Beallara Tahoma Glacier - needs less cold than a plain odontoglossum. Watch the waterings - old bulbs tend to rot! Wonderful display!

I've noticed that some of the leaves are wrinkled, like an accordion. Is she telling me she needs water?

Accordion leaves do means it's been a bit dry. But they don't go back to shape when it has enough, so it's difficult to know if they are from an old problem or a current one.

The best thing is to observe new growths and if they are pleating then yes it needs watering a little more.

I find getting the balance really difficult with my oncidium alliance orchids, so usually have pleated leaves on them.

I'll keep a eye on the new growths.

Yes, it is Beallara Tahoma Glacier 'Green'

If the pleated / accordian leaves are across the leaf, then it is a water/humidity thing.

if the pleated leaves are whole leaf long -- the folds are from bottom to top, then it is genetic. They like moisture, never completely drying out, but they will rot if over watered. So be careful, and enjoy a very nice cultivar. A very rewarding one with such large flowers, and long spikes as the plant gets to be more mature.

Take care
Happy growing
