Oncidium trashcaniensis

[Cthulhu138]

I found this Oncidium on top of a garbage pile on the side of the street last year. It was completely desiccated and had no living leaves or roots. There was still some green on it so I took it inside, potted it up in lfs and a year later......

Thanks guys. It turned out to be a really nice plant.

Nice save! I really like the yellow doll Oncidiums.

 

[Cthulhu138]

Is that what this is ? A "Yellow Doll " ?

 

[RL7836]

Wow! Amazing that the plant could go from being that dead to having the energy to produce that many flowers - what the heck did you feed that thing - plutonium pellets?

 

[Cthulhu138]

I think I may have given it Dyna-Gro once.

That's what I call them. Don't you see the dancing lady?
