Here are two pic. of this orchid. Why is the spike growing away from the window instead of towards it? I know I'll need to stake it higher.
Thanks, Lee

Is there light on the other side of the room. In my diningroom in summer, I open the big doors and the northern light comes in through a glass door but the southern light comes in the windows on the other end. Some of my phals grow towards the door and some towards the window!

Thanks Boo, no, there isn't an extra light source. Just odd it's doing this but no harm I'd imagine. Just something else to ponder. L.

I've been doing a lot of pondering!

LOLOL. Yes. It seems there's alot of that going about of late.
Maybe I'll get this mystery figured out sooner or later but first I'm still waiting for C&H to send me some tree fern fiber and pulverized charcoal to replace the amount that overflowed into the basin whilst watering the psychopsis. It had another lovely bud developing but because I forgot to water more frequently it has withered.
I'll be withering in the heat by midweek as it's to get to 100 then. Oh, how I'd love to be an Inuit. L.

I don't stake my sharry baby. Will be interesting to see yours flowering straight up. ive found that some of my orchids flowers grow to the light and some away..can't think of any exact names atm that grew away

Nice shot Bree!

I have this oncidium which blossomed the first year twice in 2009, and after that stopped blooming, just sending out wrinkled leaves and forming roots, still alive...is this a Sharry Baby too?

Photo taken October 2009

Not sure since I don't own one. Anyone? Anyone?

No, it is not!

with Ursula!

Heres a closer of sharry baby..no yours isn't, much bigger flowers, with nicer markings i rekon.
Needs more light to flower and if the leaves are wrinkled probly needs more water. Do you fertilise it?

Hmm..ok, that's a good close-up photo of your sharry baby..for awhile I thought this oncidium noid I have finally has a name! They do have similar white skirt, but your sharry baby has no markings on the sepals.. Yup, I do fertilize it, am thinking big time humidity needs..oh well, hopefully someone can recognize it later on..too bad I do not have a better photo of the blooms before. Thanks everyone! The only other photo I have was when she sent out a flower spike in early Oct 2009 and started to open one...

tarev, the flowers on Sharry Baby are very small, but numerous, and if you had it, you would know it by the fragrance...it's like walking into a candy store. Very strong scent of chocolate/vanilla! They have bred several other colors from the original.

I looked up Oncidium Jungle Monarch and Debutante. But not quite.

Bree, I think I'm taking your advice and not staking my 'Sharry Baby' an further and let if bend at its will. I'll post a pic. of it when it blooms but it's still in tight close now.

I agree. I love the fragrance of Sharry Baby. I drove one home in March and did not want to get out of my car, it smelled soooo good.

Tarvez, your plant is beautiful. The buds on mine are still tight and certainly not swollen as yours. I hope you post pics of it whilst in bloom.
