Intergeneric Orchids are simply crosses between two different genera or types
of orchids. For example, if you cross an oncidium with and odontoglossum,
you get an odontocidium. While you can't cross all varieties with each
other, many within the same family or alliance can be. These crosses can
produce very interesting shapes, sizes and colors of orchid flowers. We
grow a number of intergenerics from the oncidium alliance. They share
similar care needs and do well in most climates in the United States. Here
are some of the intergenerics we grow, and a look at their parentage.
