Absolutely! The gold picotee really is the detail that just makes everything else work. -Eric in SF www.orchidphotos.org "tbell" wrote in message .com... I don't usually like the chocolate/brown blooms, but with that yellow edging this is wonderful. |

Oncidium forbesii 'Avalon' - kind of the Oncidiums
Great photo and a great word, Eric.
Had me running for my dictionaries. One said "A variety of the pink in which the edges of the petals are often a darker colour than the flowers " and the other said " A type of carnation of which the flowers have a light ground and dark-edged petals." Maybe you can go into the Oxford Dictionary as being the first to apply this term to orchids. Cheers John "Eric Hunt" wrote in message ... Tom, Absolutely!
