Ontolezia Helen Armour ‘Number 1’

Description

2” pot. This miniature hybrid is a cross between Oncidium sotoanum and Rodrumnia Helmut Rohrl, which is an intergeneric cross between Rodriguezia and Tolumnia. This seems to be a relatively new cross, so it’s not clear what the flowers will look like. What is clear is that the plants will be miniature in size and that flowers will be small, colorful, and borne in sprays. The flowers of Oncidium sotoanum are pink and fragrant; those of Rodrumnia Helmut Rohrl are cream to white with dark maroon on the petals, sepals, and lip. These mericlone “seedlings” should be getting close to blooming size.   Photo shows Rodrumnia Helmut Rohrl.
