Oncidium croesus Orchid

I knew I obtained this miniature orchid some time ago but was surprised to find it was bought five years ago. It has taken until this year for it to finally produce some flowers. As I appear to have found the right conditions for growth it should now flower every year.





This orchid is a native species to Brazil, growing at elevations of 400 to 600 metres above sea level.

The mid size Cymbidium plant has been in flower for about four weeks and seems to have reached its best colouring:



Another of the Oncidium Twinkle miniatures is also starting to flower.
These blooms are about 10mm at their widest:



The buds on the larger Cymbidium plants are still developing.
All being well some should open about the middle of next month.

The medium size Cymbidium plant is nearly in full flower now:



Inside the new propagator an Oncidium twinkle is blooming:



That Oncidium is a miniature.
Here are both together for comparison:



There are two other miniatures producing buds at this time so more to look forward to along with the two large Cymbidium plants.
