Got it back in 2007, used to grow it much wetter in the winter. Started letting it dry a little before watering again (12-15 days). Seems to have responded.
    Question: Does anyone have any idea what locthostates is? It seems to contribute the orange-brown color in the flowers. Many traits seem to come from onustrum, pseudobulb color and shape, size of plant, leaf color, flower shape. It has apparently won an award with AOS ( America Orchid Society), so there should be some information on it. Any help/ ideas would be greatly appreciated

    The pod parent is orthostates not locthostates.

    ...and the pollen parent is onustum, with no "r".

    Or onusta if you’re a Zelenkoa type person.

    (to which orthostates has a funky genus now too?!)

    Wow, spelling and grammar do count. Both where miss spelled, wonder if it really won an award of merit too.

    Oh! This gets even better!

    Oncidium orthostates is now considered to be synonymous with Nohawilliamsia pirarensis, and when crossed with Zelenkoa onusta, might be considered to be either Nowahenkoa Alohi or Gomenkoa Robsan's Gold (registered using Gomesa pirarensis).

    And yes, Nowahenkoa Alohi 'ViCli' AM/AOS is valid.

    I know this post is old, but I came across it randomly and wow! Those flowers are really special!

    How is this plant doing for you these days?

    I don't know anything about the history or complicated background like Ray has given you. All I know that it is (to me) a very wonderful oncidium!
