Seeking Odd Plant: HELP!

15 years ago

Hi Everyone!

About three years ago, I visited Oak Hill Gardens, and I spotted this really neat orchid, which I passed up because I was working on a list I had brought with me. Now, I'm kicking myself; they no longer carry it!

I suspect it was some sort of Oberonia, but all those I've seen were a light green, and none had quite the curvature to the leaves that this plant had. It had leaves that looked like flat, downward curving claws, which were generously flecked with purple, giving a purple cast, and looking very purple from a distance. The green it did have was sort of dark, as well. It wasn't in bloom at the time. It was mounted, and I think it stays small, with leaves about 3/4" wide and 3-4" long (maybe 5" at the most).

Does anyone know what this was, and/or where I might find it? I'd LOVE to have this! Please share info if you have it! Thanks for reading and sharing!
