    i just bought an orchid at Garden world, and I am having trouble id this type of orchid whether it is odontoglossum or a masdevallia.

    your help is greatly appreciated... My personal web site is:

    Click on the image to magnify. It says in the label it is "Stewartara Marianna Sander" but which type is it?

    It's this orange orchid that i bought which requires ID just under the pink orchid photo. The second photo.

    Please reply - desperate.

    Thanks.

    Odontoglossum of some kind?
    You may be able to isolate it using google images

    Hi terrestial man -

    you are BRILLIANT!!!! Thank you!

    I actually did a google search and to my surprise there is such orchid genus name called,"Stewardtara". which is a cross between "Ada X Cochlioda X Odontoglossum".

    Does that mean my plant is a hybrid?

    The big question really is what particular care do i give to this plant? Should i follow Odontoglossum guidlines in caring for this plant?
