Dancing-lady orchid

"The way a Dancing-lady orchid sways in the breeze is like watching a graceful dance."

The Dancing-lady orchid, scientifically known as Oncidium orchid is a popular orchid species native to Central and South America. Its unique name derives from the resemblance of the flowers to a lady in a dancing position.

The flowers of this orchid species grow in clusters and can have up to 100 blooms per spike. Each flower is small and delicate with a bright yellow color and a brown or red lip. The lip is the central part of the flower that often serves as a landing pad for pollinators. It requires moderate light and it should be watered regularly ensuring that the roots do not sit in water. The orchid should be fertilized every two weeks during the growing season and re-potted every two years.

One of the unique features of the Dancing-lady orchid is its fragrance. The flowers emit a sweet and fruity scent making them a favorite among gardeners and florists. The orchid's scent is most prominent during the daytime and it fades away at night. In conclusion, the Dancing-lady orchid is a beautiful and captivating orchid species that is easy to care for and makes a perfect addition to any orchid collection.
