Onc. Copper scarab
Copper scarab "Brass Brethren" Is starting to bloom, not alot of flowers on the spike but I hope the next time it blooms it will have more, its not really pic but maybe after the first of the year I can't buy a better camera.

I see this one very often at my TJ.
It is fragrant, right?
The ones I see are usually loaded with flowers, so you definitely can dream big on this plant! |

I'm not sure if its fragrant or not my sniffer not working to well so if it does I'll have to wait until it blooms the next time

Cattleya light, lots of N when growing new pbulbs, good water (low in dissolved solids-salts), and a breeze is nice. Do not repot it often. Oncids like to be crowded so a little more coarse media works well. This roots that damage easily and will rot easily if not enough air getting to the root zone. These will put on an impressive display of flowers if grown right. I had one with 100 flowers. They are very pretty and fragrant too.

The lighting should be good its in a south window, its mounted and I think it getting enough air to the roots plus there are a few roots starting to grow our of the moss. I can't wait to see mine to put out that many flowers at one time.

very nice. I have this one but it's going to be a while before it blooms. The pictures with the big inflorescences are impressive.
