This is the original Dawn soup and it is supposed to be less toxic. The oncidium is fine so far. I say about 15%+, roughly.

Oh no, I am in big troubles now..hahahaha... I live in NYC and went to my local florist specialized in tropical plants. They only have 3 varieties...plenty of Phals. Some other low light variety. And plenty of oncidium including sharry baby. They are all in bloom with flowers and bubs. Huge pseudobulbs (about the size of a small potato), not like the ones I have. Is $35. They are about 3ft to 4ft tall including the flower spikes. I really wanted to buy it but decided that I "shouldn't" since I need to make room and I need time to "justify" purchase. Decisions, decisions...
