Type: Oncidium Alliance Hybrid
Description
Odontocidium Rex’s Luck ‘Firefly’ is a bright and lively Oncidium alliance hybrid known for its abundant flowering and warm, glowing color pattern. This orchid produces branching flower spikes densely covered with small to medium-sized blooms that create a vibrant, cascading display when in bloom. Its golden tones accented with warm markings give the flowers a “lit from within” appearance, much like its Firefly name suggests.
