O Oncidium sphacelatum é originário da América Central (México, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize), chegando até a Venezuela.
É planta de altitude, entre 800 e 1000 m, sendo encontrado vegetando sobre troncos e galhos que recebem muita luminosidade.
Introduzido no Brasil há tempos, adaptou-se aos campos de altitude e é, hoje, planta fácil de encontrar nas matas de Teresópolis, onde são percebidos, à distância, pelas suas enormes inflorescências cheias de fores amarelo-marrons e acabou sendo incluido entre os oncidiums que o povo chama de chuva-de-ouro. |

I was looking at your portfolio and this beautiful flower took my attention. My wife will certainly know why, cause this was 30 years ago one of the flowers she was wearing during our wedding.
Very good, never knew this. TFS
