| Positive | On Mar 26, 2005, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote: This is a fairly popular Oncidium alliance hybrid. It was once classified as Colmanara Jungle Monarch but with recent name changes, the Miltonia warscewiczii parent is now Oncidium fuscatum, hence this hybrid was renamed as an Odontocidium from Colmanara. Having aid that, the 1.5 inch flowers are produced in a long spray and are lightly fragrant. It requires intermediate temps and bright light. |
