Orchid ID plus seed pods

10 years ago

Hi, all!

I'm from the Philippines.

This orchid has been with us for almost a month. My mom and I spotted it at the local market. My mom is not really an orchid fan, but she liked this one because it's huge. The vendor said that it is a wild orchid, but she never really identified what orchid it is. I think it's an oncidium because of its pseudobulbs, but I want to be sure. What do you think is this orchid?

Also, we noticed that there is a swelling under almost all the flowers. And I've read that it's actually a seed pod. I looked for methods on how to plant it, but those methods seem to be complicated. Would there be any chance that the seeds would grow just by sprinkling it on the parent orchid's roots?

One last thing. When we bought it, there's really no medium. As you see in one of the photos, there are little leaves attached to the roots. Are those little orchids? Or are those something else?


Thank you! Have a great day!
