The oncidiums above are some more that are bloomed in January. Notice in the close-ups that the blooms are similar... but still different. |

This is a unique oncidium. Above, you see the entire plant. To the right is the spike! (The lighting is much better on the right, making the blooms show up better.) |

To the right is one spectacular oncidium. When I called the owner I told him that I wanted to come take a picture of it when it was in full bloom. (He agreed.) I counted the buds-- and there are at least 75! I can hardly wait to see it in full bloom. By the way, he owed $15 in baby-sitting fees. |

This is the orchid above about 3 weeks later. The color really has changed! The weight of the blooms make the spike branch over beautifully. The owner said there were about 110 blooms, including a few buds ready to open. Not one bloom has fallen off yet. |
