hey guys the last time i spoke to you guys we left off on me finally deciding to get a yellow Asco from aloha! ans it was called Waianae Lemons. It was supposed to be Clear yellow with citrus fragrance but when it arrived it look nothing like the picture on the website!!!!! i was very upset at first but then i looked at it and i fell in love! the flowers Are Yellow but with red Spots and no fragrance! So i did a little digging and found the hybrid it most identifies with in my orchid book, its name is
Ascda. Crownfox Golden Dawn the flowers are exactly the same! So finally here they are!

NOW THE PLANT

Lots and lots of roots right?
Im thinking that the name Waianae Lemons is just the name they give to the assorted yellow hybrids that they sell

I like it a lot. So did it come with a spike?

That is a beautiful healthy looking plant. I love those blossoms! Enjoy that gorgeous orchid even if it isn't Waianae Lemons. Carol

I am guessing that Waianae Lemons is a clonal name given to an ascocenda that has v denisoniana. denisoniana imparts its yellow color and 'lemon pledge' fragrance to its offspring. I have been unable to find the parentage of 'Waianae Lemons' in the record anywhere but it sure is pretty. And I like your 'mystery' yellow.

Yes i came fully bloomed actually haha. and i love it too! Look out for a post about my Ascocentrum Ampullaceum it has 3 bloom spikes and it also is making a bunch of new roots well two i can see so far one arial that formed a cap and it is now regrowing, and i can see 2 swellings on the front of the plant so im sure that those are roots!
