Onc. Sharry baby 'Sweet Fragrance' (AM/AOS)
Its is a well known hybrid of Onc. Jamie Sutton X Onc. Honolulu. Individual flowers are up to 1.5 inches long and 1 inch wide. This orchid has an Award of Merit from the AOS. The deep mahogany and cream colored flowers are very showy and have the fragrance of vanilla chocolate. The flowers are very long lasting. The bloom stalks can reach up to 3 feet in height and may need to be staked for support (depending on the age of the plant).

The orchid needs good sunlight and should be watered when the medium is almost dry. It is good to fertilize them weekly for better results.
