Sorry, I attempted to put the picture in using photobucket and the instructions in the FAQ above but after an hour of attempts, no luck. any more suggestions for me?

Hi Dotty, have a look at the first post in the "new to orchiding" thread and the address used to look at Photobucket, that might help.

Trying again with the picture:

I may be wrong, but looks like of the Cattleya family.

I think it is an Intergeneric Hybrid from the Oncidiinae subtribe. Sorry, that is the best i can do. Someone may id it particularly if it is a widely distributed mericlone.

I believe you are correct Arthur. It's a very pretty flower and I know I didn't get it from anywhere special, so it likely is well known. Thanks all.
