In spike Now, Huge, Oncostele Wildcat 'Golden Red Star' Mericlone

Technically called Oncostele Wildcat, but you might see it called Wilsonara or sometimes Colmanara. This one is an intergeneric hybrid that puts out a 2 to 3 foot spike of stunning dark red 1/12 to 2 inch flowers bordered in bright gold. 40 to 50 flowers on a single branching inflorescence is not unusual.

The breeding is Oncostele Rustic Bridge x Oncidium Crowborough, but unless you're really into orchid nomenclature, we recommend you simply enjoy the lovely flowers when they bloom in a dark red outlined in gold.

This one is a mericlone, and the flowers will look like the one pictured. These plants are in 4 inch pots, and already have tall spikes. They should be in full flower in 2 to 3 weeks. A plus is the fact that when they are happy they can bloom twice a year.

They are easy to grow, too. Provide bright indirect light and a temperature range of 60 to 85 degrees. Allow to get almost dry, but not quite, between waterings, like a phal. Fertilize twice a month or so.
