I bought one Oncidium orchid from the Bucks County Orchid Society two years ago. It had two upright long stems, full of flowers and looked very healthy! The name tag said: Odontocidium Catatante 'Kilauea Karma'. I had been enjoying it for a long while, until its flowers faded, then I forgot about this plant completely. This past May, I noticed there was a new spike about 5 cm. I watched it grow longer and longer, when it started to bloom, 5 weeks had passed already. The flowering stem is up to more than 4 feet long.
This orchid produces spectacular flowers of bright orange and gold color on a very arch like flowering stem, because it's long and heavy. I am thrilled and proud!
The flowers from this orchid are bountiful (approximately 80 flowers) and bright, demanding attention.

The Ocidium orchid is an easy to grow hybrid that will tolerate the average home temperatures and require a well- lit spot, but no direct sunlight during the growing season.
