Wilsonara (Wils.) Opalescent 'On The Edge' is a true marvel among intergeneric hybrids in the oncidium alliance. With its dazzling beauty, pronounced spikes with an abundance of unique white flowers with sporadic spotting, and specifically named for its soft purple coloration around the edges, this orchid will effortlessly grace any space with an aura of elegance and sophistication when in full bloom.
