I am very excited to announce my new Oncidium Orchid Plant the Mtssa. Shelob " Tolkien " Orchid. If you want to see all of my Orchids please CLICK HERE. I scored this beauty at my local big box store but at any rate scored. This Orchid caught my eye as I walked past it and pretty much dragged me in. I was not there to purchase a new Orchid Plant.
It seems to be a fitting name for this Orchid. The Mtssa. Shelob " Tolkien ". It reminded me of something out of a Tolkien book. The leaves even look like something of great fantasy, and being that it dragged me in as I walked passed, it must be magical.
Well come to find out after some research this magnificent Orchid is actually named after J.R.R. Tolkien. I am pretty sure it has much to due with the spidery looking petals and the Velvety Burgundy and yellow mixture with pink toned tongues. This aromatic Orchid is a must have for any Orchid collection.

The Mtssa. Shelob 'Tolkien ' is a hybrid Orchid made up of the genus species Miltonia and Brassia,( Mtssa. Olmec x Brassia Edvah Loo ). It enjoys medium light and medium water about 3 times per week. This Orchid also enjoys a light misting on the leaves as well. Fertilizing twice a month is healthy.
The Mtssa. Shelob 'Tolkien' Orchid can have multiple spikes all producing anywhere from 6-8 flowers per spike. The flowers range from 4-5 inches from top to bottom. This Orchid was awarded the AOS award for merit in 1998.

Here, I do not really consider it will work.
I live in Ontario, Canada, and I just bought this exact same orchid (identical tag, even!) last week at my local grocery store, and certainly not on the hunt for orchids. I couldn't resist the fantasy-like blossoms, either. Just came across your blog when I tried to find more information on it. Thanks.
