A while back, my parents who are well aware of my obsession, gave me a
gift
of an Oncidium orchid [Little did they know of my indifference to
Oncidiums). So I never bothered to really pay much attention to the tag.
I
kind of glanced at it. I couldn't really make out the proper name, so I
just kind of forgot about it.
Sat it down next to the phals, and voila, it went into spike, and it is
now
blooming. It reminds me of a group of mourning doves landing! The
fragrance
is overwhelming (Smells very similar to Sharry Baby) and is very sweet.
So
now of course, I want to know what the name is. This is what the tag
says:

Onc. Makalll x Ornithorhynchum "Boso Sweet"

I was wondering if anyone knows the correct name (Is it Makalli, Makaill
etc...?)

I will post a photo of it in a.b.p.o

(I tried looking it up on the web, but found nothing).

Onc Nanboh Waltz is Onc Makalii x Onc ornithorhynchum

Mariana please note the Makalii is 2 i's at the end. It probably
was not in the type face on the tag.
Also ornithorhynchum is a species (small letters).

It was registered in 2001 by Ohba Orchids according to Wildcatt.
Very pretty thing. You say it smells like Sharry Baby? Chocolate
or just as sweet as Sharry?

Sue thank you thank you thank you thank you! Much appreciated!

The flowers smell very sweet, very chocolatey (is that a word? g)
