Tolumnia popoki 'Mitzi'
|
Our eight years old Tolumnia popoki 'Mitzi' or "Oncidium Dancing Lady" came in bloom in early June this year. We had twelve flowers this time around and like many orchids, the flowers stayed in full bloom for about one month.
This year, we noticed that the deep purple colour had a tendency to fade rather quickly compared to previous years. We think it could be due to the warm temperature this Summer, and this seems to affect this orchid indoors as well.

| C) Always amazes me to see how orchids can produce such beautiful flowers simply by hanging on a bark, with the root system completely exposed to the air! |

| D) A final close up of our "Oncidium Dancing Lady" specimen. A real beauty. |
Until my next post, have a great week everyone!
