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.

Sometimes identified as Oncidium, Opalescent 'On The Edge' is a remarkable hybrid blend of three exceptional orchid genera: the Oncidium, Odontoglossum, and Cochlioda (Cda. x Odm. x Onc.) These orchid hybrids, Wilsonara, are most commonly known for their quick growth habits and reliable yearly flowering while this fusion results in a harmonious combination of colors and patterns that will leave you in awe. Delicate petals, gracefully shaped, create a breathtaking display of vibrant hues, from white to soft pastels, deep purples and bright yellow.

The unique charm of the Wilsonara Opalescent 'On The Edge' lies in its exquisite lip, delicately fringed with intricate patterns and bold splashes of contrasting colors. The soft, purple edging is the focal point of this stunning flower, drawing the eye in with its mesmerizing allure.

To grow plants successfully:

  • Place them in a cool, humid and partially shaded area.
  • Water them when the mix feels dry, but avoid letting it dry out completely.
  • Wait for new bulbs to form and flower.
  • After the flowers fade, water them less frequently for 2-4 weeks.
  • Resume regular watering when new growth appears.
  • Use medium fir bark as the potting material.

  • Beautiful plant 5

    Posted by Unknown on Feb 13th 2024

    I sent this as a get well for our daughter, recovering from surgery. She collects orchids and was so impressed with the plant quality as well as the packaging and 2 day shipping. As she recuperates, she will look forward to the blooms as she did not have this one in her collection!

    One of the several plants I've purchased from Akatsuka; is an undeniably great-looking plant, healthy, and robust. Can't wait to see its first bloom. Received in pretty good size.

    My plant arrived just a few days after I ordered it! It was healthy, pest-free, and so carefully packed. Thanks!
