Colm. Wildcat 'leopard'
Is a hybrid of (Odtna. Rustic Bridge x Odcdm Crowborough. Has attractive 2" yellow flowers with mahogany bars. Lips are cream with red spots. A beutiful addition to the 'Wildcat Family' of Colmonara's for collectors.
"Bright light please" Colmanara's are basically Oncidiums and can generally be treated that way. Bright light and fairly even wateringis is the key to flowering. Beallara's and Brassia's also need good bright light. If your ochids do not rebloom, think of this again - Is the light right?
Colmanaras are cross breeds of Miltonia, Odontoglossum and Oncidium. The flowers are larger compared to the typical oncidium varieties.
Sphagnum moss is the best culture media but can add to the cost. Even watering is important and constant attention in this regard is unavoidable. The plats needs thorough watering and good drainage when the top of the mix is dry. |
