varieties vary in size and shape. Oncidium blossoms are 1/2 to 1 inch and are
usually yellow with orange-red markings. Cattleya blossoms are large, ruffled
and usually 5 to 6 inches across in white or purple with contrasting throats.

cymbidiums are white, yellow, green or lavender with pink or red lips, while
dendrobiums are often white or lavender.
