The Orchid Garden

Lost Tag

Question:

This is a shot in the dark.  I purchased a plant at the Miami International Orchid Show a few months ago.  The tag disappeared from the plant before I was The plant was an Oncidium which looked a lot like a Sherry Baby, but much lighter in color–a lot more white in the flower.  Growth habit and leaves are very similar to Sherry Baby.  This was a popular item at the show, and the booth I bought from was located along the mid wall in the back sales room….the grower was from out of the country.  (Notice I am full of clues, no information!)  I *know* I will recognize the cross if I ever see it….Send any guesses you might have and THANKS!!

Only one question: Does it smell like Sharry Baby? While ‘Sweet Fragrance’ is by far the most popular clone of this cross, there are others that pop up from time to time. -Rod- Venger’s Orchids Website http://www.vengers.com/
