Odcdm. Orizaba ‘Everglades’

This is the first time this one has flowered! Odontocidiums are a bigeneric hybrids between the genera Odontoglossum and Oncidium. Merle gave me a cutting of this about 4 years ago so my wait is over, it has finally given me a reward. Not the best photo but it shows how long the raceme is. The flowers are quite flat and as large as a mini cattleya. With a few more sprays , this one is a prize winnner. In fact this hybrid already has an AM AOS on th tag which means it was awarded an Order of Merit at American Orchid Society judging.
