Loose Cali Oncidium

Sorry. Should be OK now

The binomial name is still wrong.

Blame it on me SantaLucia...I think I need to start wearing my glasses >.< ...sorry!

Thanks for the heads up!

You've got the spelling of Oncidium wrong :) See here for more taxonomic info: http://www.tropicos.org/Name/23508158

¡Ji ji! Por mi parte, creo que GeoLeo lo ha dicho muy bien. Oncidium hapalotyle is a very good shout. If you blow up the image on this link it's a perfect match: http://www.ecuagenera.com/epages/whitela...

Claro! As soon someone nails it down, I'll update it.

Would you please let me know when you finally ID this one? Now I'm intrigued...

OK. I just don't know enough about orchids to positively id it. I'll let the experts decide and give it an id when the dust settles. This one is like telling marsh and willow tits apart.

You are so generous SantaLucia...didn't mean to intrude, your flowers are so beautiful that I could not resist!!! The picture I found looks exactly like your orchid. The difference I noticed between the Loose Cali and the Dancing Lady is that the Lady has a big petal that looks like a skirt (girl stuff) and the firts one has petals that are thinner...just like yours....best wishes!

This is called Lluvia de oro but there are many diferent species of this orchid

Now I'm just confused. This is why I like cats and bears.

Nah, forget Craig. It's a great shout. We're in Ecuador so it all adds up. I've got a few more to dredge through so Craig will get his moment. Thanks GeoLeo.

I know u want to wait for Craig, but how about "Loose Cali Onicidium", Onicidium hapalotyle? For what I read it grows in Colombia and Ecuador...could it be?

Yep, looks like a pretty good match to me. I'll wait for craig though-I promised him some orchids yesterday...

I'm not sure of the species, maybe Craig has a better idea but it does look like O. baueri.
