Help identify Oncidium bought at garden center
 

I bought this beautiful Oncidium from a local garden center here in Raleigh. It came without a tag, and I was so excited I forgot to note the details. :roll: I recall the name included cat spots or something similar. Can you please help me identify this variety?

I think it may be Beallara (Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum) - possibly Bllra Patricia McCully ?

That is it! I am sure. So it's a hybrid of four genera?

Gorgeous flowers! :love: The great thing about these Oncidium intergenerics is that they are usually really easy to identify since each tends to be unique looking.

And yes, it is a hybrid of the 4 genera, somewhere in the parentage. I looked it up in Orchidwiz this hybrid has a 'family tree' that goes back at least 6 generations!

How does one get started creating hybrid orchids? I guess you need to know much about pollination and propagation.

It seems like the lavender based ivory white tinged yellow center:

Beallara Big Shot 'Kitty Kat'

mine is the ivory based but with a lavender tinge and a yellow center

go and search for its parents and its culture

I think WhiteRabbit is dead on, I don't really like putting a label on an unknown hybrid but in this case I really don't think there can be much doubt that it is
Bllra Patricia McCully. Good catch Rabbit, an extra carrot for you tonight!!:rofl:

Right Glen...I really think he should go back to the source and get the tag. Assuming or guessing is kinda hard...

Yes, a tag would be vry nice to have, but the advantage of these intergenerics is that they are usually unique enough to be able to be confidently IDed.

Oh boy! I can't wait! ;)

Yeah, some of the Oncidium alliance inter-generics can be quite distinct looking ...
