Incdm. Misty ‘Highland’ blooms
 

This Oncidium intergeneric is often mistaken for Incdm. Popcorn. Although I bought it from SBOE, it originated at Gold Country Orchids and, alas, its parentage isn’t known so it isn’t a registered name according to Al Koch the owner of Gold Country.

3 buds just opened today and there are about 30+ more on a branched inflorescence. The flowers are about 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm. They start out creamy-yellow and fade to a white-blue.

I’m growing it mounted on cork, and it is growing right off the cork as it seems to have a wondering growth pattern. So I plan to attach another piece of cork on the next growth and then in time, I will separate the two pieces and have 2 orchids.

I mist it daily and on many summer days it is misted twice a day. It is fed regularly.

I don’t have much else that blooms in the summer months, so this a welcome sight.

Beautiful color and form.

I may be thinking of Popcorn but one of these changes from pinky to yellow or visa versa,no? Sweet!

That's fantastic! I have a ton that blooms during the summer, but hardly anything during my orchid society's show! Lol! That's okay though because I grow for me, not for ribbons.

Well that's a cute little flower! Congrats!

Sweet!

Pretty!
