Oncidium Dancing Lady types

Oncidium

Oncidiums are one of the largest orchid families. When we say “Oncidium” we are meaning the basic yellow types (the Oncidiums hybrids will fall under the “Exotic” category). Early explorers were spellbound by fields golden yellow, doll-like flowers moving gracefully in the wind. So the first Oncidiums were called “The Dancing Lady”, as symbol of the beautiful, exotic dancers of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
