But (there is always a but) it wasn't the cultivar I had ordered, though. I thought i had purchased Oncidium Sharry Baby Sweet Fragance, but this is something else. Could be an oncidium, but it could be a miltonia.

So guys, does anybody know how i must call this mistery orchid?
You see, not only amaryllis lovers get mixed up orders :-)

The orchid:

A bit closer:

I'm no expert, but I believe I've seen that orchid before... it's an intergeneric, a Degarmoara, I think, with Miltoniopsis, Brassia and/or Odontoglosum in its background... but I can't recall the exact name.

I think if you post that photo in the Orchid Forum, someone can help you to identify it by name.

My own collection consists of a few Phals, Epis, Dens, and Catts. My only Oncidium looks to be on its way out... although, it does have a tiny new green growth starting. If I can keep it alive long enough for the tiny growth to gain some size, it might flourish.

Growing orchids indoors in the north is a difficult task, unless you have the environment for them. I don't. I do have artificial lighting, but not enough humidity.

Whatever its name, it's very beautiful! Thank you for sharing... and I hope you find out its name. Even if it's not exactly what you ordered, it's lovely! I'd consider it a keeper!

I'm including a link to a very interesting blog about orchids... I learned quite a bit reading it, and the photos are very drool-worthy! Enjoy!

I'm very glad... now you can tag it properly, and you know exactly what to call it! What a beauty!

Sometimes, getting the wrong plant can turn out ok... you certainly got a lovely orchid, even though they sent you the wrong one... I love nicely scented flowers!
