Oncidium sphacelatum

This is an enormous oncidium at a local orchid greenhouse in Virgnia - Al's Orchid Exchange. Al is great, and we really like his stuff. I cropped the pic of my friend, since I didn't get his permission to post his pic, but you can get a sense of how huge the plant is - Al started this thing only a few years ago with a few bulbs. If you look carefully, you'll see the plant is actually the very long leaves to the right - those are smaller other plants in front of it. Pretty amazing. And pretty insane. But also pretty damn cool, if you've got the space for it. And if you don't, you just cut the damn thing in half every time you repot and give half away.
