Brsdm Gilded Urchin 'Ontario' showcases elegant spikes adorned with vibrant green and yellow flowers, each featuring a vivid yellow lip. Deep chocolate markings accent the center of the petals, adding striking contrast. These spider-like blooms, measuring 10-12cm, appear in clusters of up to 15 on gracefully arching stems when fully matured.
The photo that shows on each available variant is indicative of the size plant that you will receive.

Please check carefully when selecting options to avoid “size surprise”.
This orchid is in the family Oncidiinae. Oncidiums, Odontoglossums and their hybrids are another orchid which will grow well alongside your Cymbidiums. They thrive outdoors in shady to dappled light - ensuring they get plenty of light will ensure that flowering will not be inhibited. Many do well on slabs, where they benefit from the rapid alteration of wet to dry if they are watered daily and dry fast. Additionally, most do very well in an intermediate greenhouse; with a minimum night temperature of 12°C as average.
