Oncidium orchids captivate with their multitude of small blooms, often unfurling in a stunning display that can last for weeks on end. Their color palette is diverse, ranging from sunlit yellows to pristine whites, passionate reds, pastel pinks, lush greens, and earthy browns.
What sets these orchids apart is their distinct floral structure. Regardless of their color or shape, one consistent feature is the orientation of the bottom petal, which stands perpendicular to the side petals.
This particular arrangement evokes images of a twirling dancer, leading to the orchid’s affectionate nickname as the “ballerina orchids.”Exploring Orchid Diversity
