Hello Everyone!

Here's a picture of an orchid I received yesterday. Unfortunately it was purchased without a tag, so I need your help trying to figure out what kind of oncidium it is, that is of course it's an oncidium. The plant has pseudobulbs, so I just made the assumption.

Let me know what you guys think!

Quoting from Wikipedia "The Oncidiinae is a subtribe within the Orchidaceae that consists of a number of genera that are closely related. This subtribe consists of about 70 genera with ..."

So your orchid could be an Oncidium or an Oncidium crossed with something else or even crossed with multiple Genera.

You might get an id if it is something that has been mericloned (copied) and many copies have been sold. An example of this is Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'.

But usually the numbers are against you getting an id. The number of registered hybrids and the variation within each crossing make the task difficult.
