For a long time I have considered ondicium orchids, the traditional looking, quite plan and simple as a niche in the orchid world. I mean they are OK-ish, though the new hybrids of the pink, white, purple, cinnamon, rose, ginger... omg i have no Idea what else is there in the oncidium world - kind of annoy me. I see them, and I think - these are girly orchids. But like really, girly, sparkly my little pony like. No offense to girls and girly things, but it's just the first initial feeling. Or more like the feeling that something is just to sweet and pretty. And then I came across the utterly popular and common Oncidium Sweet Sugar, and I was struck... I realized then I saw it before. Yes I have, in the Kew Garden on the Orchid Festival. There was this huge Palm and from it there a cascade of golden butterfly like flowers came down like a wonderful shimmering and sunny waterfall. I remembered that with great pleasure and I was sold, straight away. I love yellow and oran...
Spending my free time in mastering the difficult (let's be honest) art of growing orchids, as well as trying to share my knowledge to people around me in the United Kingdom and further.
