Compared to other similar dwarf oncidium hybrid orchids, which are planted and sold as ornamental pot orchids, such as Oncidium ‘Twinkle’ or Oncidium ‘Sepia’, they are only similar in plant height, around 50˜70 cm height. The floret size is tiny and floret number is crowded with Oncidium ‘Twinkle’. In contrast, the floret size of ‘HONEY MICHELL’ is bigger (3˜5 cm width), and floret number is relatively few.
