Definitely mislabelled. Oncidium hybrids, unlike intergeneric hybrids of some other orchid alliances, don’t fall far from the tree.

I’m a bit late to the party again.

Peoples’ descriptions of whether things smell like chocolate or cinnamon or anything else are subjective and not very reliable.

Some usually fragrant orchids miss out altogether - especially when...

Actually the Noid is a Noid philosophy doesn’t apply quite so well to the Oncidium alliance hybrids. For most oncid hybrids there is only one way to get a particular look and it’s only been done...

Looking at them now, I don’t think they are going to bloom till spring anyway. They’ll just stay pretty much as-is till then. Three of the 6 now have them - little growths that don’t look like roots.

If I had those plants and they hadn’t flowered I’d be giving them a lot more light - a lot more, even to the point of a bit of leaf burn.

Hey Martin. I sent you a long reply about my thinking on best potting medium for us. May have lost it?

Let me know if you didn’t get it.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions of the Govee and the other brands....

Speculation on my part.
I’d say most are exported.
They sell online through their website.
And they sell on EBay.
They may do shows - I rarely get to orchid shows so I don’t know.
