i think this is burr Nellie swiss beauty oncidium

Thank you blondy27. I'll look it up how to care for it.

Burrageara is extinct, but if you search for Burrageara Nellie Isler you should find some images that match your orchid.

Thank you Arthum. I was looking for specific name but it only showed Oncidum Alliance. I'll try the name you gave me.

My Burr Nelly Swiss Beauty is finished with the flowers. I need to know so I can do it right for this plant. Should I cut the spent spike down or should I keep it? Also, it came in a pot packed with soil. Would you please tell me should I repot it in bark mix or should I wait until spring to repot this beauty? I went on line to look for info but found only how to repot it but not saying when.
Thank you!

Your orchid is quite lovely, gorgeous color.

Thank you Allymarie.

I was very please that they lasted for over 2 months. Not only they were beautiful, their fragrant was very nice too and lasted all day, not only in the morning like some of other orchids. Now I really hope someone will help telling me how to care for it after the flowers are gone.

I have put a link in to the Canadian Orchid Congress notes for Miltoniopsis which is half the genetic makeup of your orchid. The rest is various species of oncidium.

Your orchid was Burrageara Nelly Isler, now is Oncidopsis Nelly Isler, a made up name using Oncidium and Miltoniopsis.

Here is a link that might be useful: Miltoniopsis culture

Thank you Arthum and HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I'll read this site to see what I can do for it.

Hi I just recently started a collection of orchids again. I Have only phals at this time. I have been watching YouTube to gain knowledge of growing them and I saw the Nelly. How beautiful can this girl be. I HAVE to have her! Where can I buy a mature plant?

Thanks,
Sandi

How cute is this plant Burrageara Nellie Isler. Do anyone know where to buy it in miami ? Any good nursery?

i just got one similar, intergeneric, named saphire something or other. Cute name. I have it in with my spider, an arboreal tarantula that requires 80 percent humidity or so, so maybe clearer pics later. first pic, back of flower. looks like a miltonia flower mixed with onicidum, so miltonia x oncidum. the op's flower looks like the same kind of mix. my ignorance on it is vast, so all i know is it is an epiphyte orchid. please excuse my spelling, and the tarantula's little mess, it can't exactly flush now can it.. lol.

roots and bulb. just gonna let this one take over the terrarium. it'll give the crickets half a chance to hide from the arboreal tarantula. lol these gotta dry a bit, they were drenched bad at the store i just got it from. The substrate it is on is pretty dry, in that part of the terrarium. i had to de-sphagum the orchid. i hope the orchid lives, it should.

few more pics. my tarantula tapped at me lol, for taking her orchid, but the roots gotta dry out a bit they were hard drenched at the store. flower. she'll get it back.

roots.

bulbs, roots, leaves.

but this is for an arboreal tarantula, the crown looks a little rotty, the flowers a little dusty. For the fantastic price, i just had to semi log it and share in case it is one of a kind, it's a hybrid. these hybrids, they show thirst in their leaves and response to cold by v'ing up a bit. They appear to be resistant to crown rot just enough to take it a bit. From what I notice they appear to do that to float the humidity to their flowers, not water to their roots, but away from them, out to rocks or whatever. I have had it like three hours. They have them plump at the bulbs to push the growth, but I am gonna let that dry out a little for the next couple hours.

roots, pollen cap, three pollentas, however they are called. Thick sap. I am not going to self pollinate the flower. The flowers lifespan after removal of pollen, most likely will be norm. idk. it might die,but it's gonna make a tarantula real happy. so anyway, op,if it looks like mine, i can't tell ya much, but I can see by yours mine mine get big, but mine is most likely a dwarf. if anyone is curious I have a juvenile pink toe tarantula, aviculara aviculara. spelt wrong,apologies. If she pops up in a photo, apologies to those who are scared of spiders.

* might. well, at touch now it smells like fresh cut grass, so, I will take it like it's self defense and assume it's dry enough, do it like a miltonia spectabilis and off to the tarantula terrarium it goes. lol. new bulb growing in pic.crown looks rough, but, given I don't have to water it,again, for awhile, like maybe a month, lol,i think it'll live.

so in conclusion, in three final pics. the light is rbg, red blue green. that ivy is green. a happy spider makes a happy orchid whatever it is called saphire hybrid, if the orchid can't deal with a cricket, earthworm, spider and mealworm, a little dirt and ivy then well, some things really are best left outa the hands of the ignorant. pic 1
