Oncidium Sharry Baby in Bloom!!
I have been waiting a long time for this one to bloom. And finally, its almost in bloom  (thought I was gonna say finally in bloom right  hehe!). It would be totally cool if it started blooming tomorrow, but I just don't know how much longer I got to wait.
So for now, here is a little something to "spike" your interest.

Hey Tindo, looks excellent! How tall is that spike, or is it still growing?

It usually takes a couple of days to notice the scent, with several flowers open. Also I have noticed that they only give off scent when the sun is out and shining on them, the warmer the day, and the more direct the sunshine, the more scent you get.  Beautiful plant, enjoy! |
