The high altitude species show long inflorescences with up to 150 flowers (as in ''O. cirrhosum''), while the lower altitude species have shorter inflorescences with up to 20 flowers. These flowers may be white, red, purple, brown, yellow, or even be blotched with a showy blend of many colors. Many of these species are in great demand with orchid lovers because of their spectacular and flamboyant flowers.

Intergeneric hybrids

Odontoglossum lends itself to the production of many artificial intergeneric hybrids. The hybrids with red pigmentation are nearly all derived from a crossing with the genus ''Cochlioda'' and especially with ''Cochlioda noezliana.''
