COLMANARA 'Wildcat, Yellow Butterfly' 'Carmela'

This intergeneric hybrid is a cross between two other hybrids; Odontonia (Miltonia x Odontoglossum) and Odontocidium (Oncidium x Odontoglossum)

They are easy to cultivate, have long lasting flowers, could tolerate large temperature ranges, and have multiple blooming times. Colmanara hybrids will produce flower spikes two or three times a year with very long inflorescence with many blooms as they produce new growth.

The colors range from yellow, burgundy, mahogany with bars and stripes, and other solid colors.

These orchids are similar to Oncidiums but requires a little less light.
