Wilsonara Martian Leather is an intergeneric Oncidiinae hybrid that yields interesting flowers with unusual markings and colors. These hybrids are easier to grow and flower than most species and can flower twice per year with flowers that last for 2-3 months. The most common time for flowering is spring and fall. Grow in lower to medium light (bright diffused light or an east window) and water when the potting mix approaches dryness. The flower spikes emerge from the newest growths that develop and mature. The flowers are 2.5 - 3 inches in size and form on well branched flower spikes. We really aren't sure what 'Martian leather' looks like but we do think that these are cool flowers with universal appeal.
