Oncidium Ampliatum Majus - The Broad Pseudobulb Oncidium

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

Embrace the glory days of orchid science with this incredible artwork featuring the Broad Pseudobulb Oncidium. Originally curated by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, known as the “Orchid King,” this image highlights the exceptional coloration and architectural beauty of the Oncidium Ampliatum Var. Majus.

Known for its large, flat pseudobulbs—looking like ridged turtle shells—as well as its drooping clusters of bright yellow, butterfly-like flowers, this work will add to your collection in no small way. Every individual flower is depicted with such care that the iconic reddish brown pattern as well as the distinctive “dancing lady” form of this genus is fully displayed.

If you love gardening, Victorian nature, or exquisite botanical illustrations, this art is just what you need.
