Oncidium sphacelatum

[Ozpaph]

Oncid sphacelatum time in the sub-tropics. Grows like a weed but spikes take months to mature. Then a burst of colour.

Stephen, I would luckily welcome such weed in my garden/on our property. Great sight !
The single flowers of Onc. Sphacelatum are pretty small but the abundace of them on a flower spike makes it to a feast for the eyes.

Gorgeous, Stephen!

That is incredible. How wonderful it must be to be able to grow orchids in your garden like that.

Really nice display in garden.

I see a single watering can that feeds them all?

 

[Ozpaph]

no, just the potted mini-carnations. Hose for the tree mounts. Rare fertilizer.

Wow!!! Tropical beauty, and I bet not too much to worry about. They Just can live without much care. In my garden I have onc. Flexuosum, dend. Kingianum, laelia gouldiana, laelia superbiens, laelia speciosa and dend. Thyrsiflorum.
