Is this a Cymbidium?

[linsoo]

HI all

I bought this orchid at Bradford Nursery. There was no name on it so I asked this sales lady to check and she came back and said it was a cymbidium but i can't find one that looks like this anywhere and I know you guys are the experts.

This is very definitely NOT a Cymbidium. It is an Oncidium/Odontoglossum intergeneric of some kind, i'e., a hybrid from the group that Oncidium is in (possibily someone else will recognize the cross, but I doubt it). A Cymbidium will have pseudobulbs that are like fat cigars, this will have pseudobulbs that are flattened ovals. Nice color!

Looks lika a Beallara Marfitch 'Howards Dream', maybe?
