Equitant award
This little guy was awarded this weekend. HCC/AOS. I posted a different picture last week or so, and decided to take it to judging Saturday.
Waiting for Orchidom to give me a name for the grex, it is Rdcm. (Orchidom Red Love x Aleka) 'Littlefrog Sweet Caroline'.

Well, I've got lots and I think I'll order more...
It may be because they do well for me, but I think equitant oncidiums are some of the most rewarding plants I own. They grow well, stay pretty small, and bloom like weeds. I'd trade virtually all my other oncidium hybrids for equitants in a heartbeat.

Rob, would you hold one of those for me? I'll come down and pick it up in April.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I only have the one really nice one, and I'm not ready to divide it. But I probably have several of the same cross, if that is good enough. They are quite variable.
On the website I just have listed 'growers choice'. I have about 10 different hybrids and it was easier that way. But if you wanted a specific cross, you could just make a note of it.
Actually I've never bloomed an equitant that wasn't worth having...

How about I come down to Lansing in April after my Florida trip and we'll discuss? I'd really like to phase over to smaller plants and I REALLY like that Red!

Congratulations Rob ...
That is one flat flower! How many flowers, buds per inflorescence? Measurements? Obviously, I'm eager to read the award description.

Hi Rob
It's the bold red of this bloom that blows me away! Do you have any others of this color?

You know, I don't think I ever got the award sheet for it. Hmm... I didn't measure it, so I don't know. Two spikes, both about equivalent, so you could count the flowers and buds in the picture and double it.
