Can pseudobulbs tell me what kind of oncidiums I've got? (Added pictures of flowers)
Here in Namibia the orchids that one can buy in the nurseries are all NOIDs and labelled either Phal, Onc or Cym.
Ok, I did once find a cattleya in between the phals, and a maxillaria in between the oncidiums, but that's about it.
Over time I've ended up with a bunch of different so-called oncidiums. I say so-called, cause when I look at them I see that there is huge variations in the pseudobulbs. A lot of the plants have been purchased outside of their flowering period, so I haven't actually seen their flowers.
Now, I'm wondering if I post pictures of pseudobulbs here, can they be used to give some more indication as to what they actually are and what I can expect or hope for flowering-wise?
