Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: Tolumnia triquetra is one of the basic breeding blocks of all equitant Oncidium hybrids. If your plant has spots, you can thank triquetra! It is also useful for branching spikes. The only drawback is the cute spade shaped lip, and the short inflorescence.
Pod parent plant: Miniature. Native to Hispaniola, and the size of the plant at 4 inches indicates that it is native to the Dominican Republic side of the island. Plants from the Haiti side are huge at about 8 inches.
Pollen parent plant: Miniature. Native to Hispaniola, and the size of the plant at 4 inches indicates that it is native to the Dominican Republic side of the island. Plants from the Haiti side are huge at about 8 inches.
