Cambria Katrin Zoch

[biothanasis]

This is a plant I purchased a month ago... It was in two spikes... The one broke off, but the other developed and now has three almost open flowers and 5 buds... The lip seems to stay like this even when the flower is fully open... I think there is a slight fragarance, but not for sure...Enjoy...

Nobody liked it????

No comments???????

Finally i found out that it has a fragarance between rose and carnation, very sweet...

Never heard of Cambria not really good with the intergeneric oncidium nomenclature, like the color though, reminds me of a darker stretched out Sharry Baby

Too bad about the broken spike, I did that to my papilo, thank goodness it has 2 spikes as well! Fragrance sounds nice, I like the deep color. Now what was nature's intent about that lip???

I think the name should be Vuylstekeara Cambria:

That's what I was thinking, Dot... So, guess the name should be Vuylstekeara Cambria 'Katrin Zoch'... Nice deep colour...

Thanks for the taxonomy Dot & Paphioboy...

Rose, the pigeons must have done it, but not surely...!!! I forgive them ...
