Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: This seed was supplied as "Oncidium maculatum 'MC4393' x self" with what we believe was a falsified parent photo. The offspring is clearly not maculatum, but instead is leucochilum, unlike the supplied photo.

Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.
