Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'
Here is another big one I picked up. Just love this one. Already about to fall over and it hasn't even bloomed yet! Could of used some more light too I think... leaves are too green.

Nice find. I'm confident you can bring it to the proper level of light!

It's too big to fit under my light, so I'm going to wait until it's finished blooming to put it under. Right now it's under three 60w incandescent grow bulbs along with the other one I just picked up. It's the only place they would fit! Hopefully that's enough light to keep them going through bloom... then they'll go under the 430w hps.

It is a good consistant bloomer. The fragrance is very heady. Wait until it gets big enough for 1/2 doz. spikes and you will get a headache from the smell.

Nice, nice, nice! I just love Sharry Baby. It is one of the most reliable orchids I have. Like Tommy, mine won't bloom again until later this year. I must divide and repot it and I fear it won't produce any blooms until next year. I just love that chocolate fragrance. Do the rest of you think I should divide it? It is quite large and is growing up and all over! Or just repot and let it grow as large as possible? Sorry, I don't have a digital camera yet and can't post any pics.

We need a pic of it! Can't tell about repotting without a pic.

I have a Sharry Baby that I bought a month ago, the big spike is almost finished blooming, and to my delight I see a new spike coming up. I keep her in a south window. The sun is getting stronger now here in Chicago, and will add a sheer to the window in the summer.
She is so sweet!
