Is this a cymbidium or possibly a dendrobium - Orchid Board

Hi folks,

I'm at a loss trying to identify a recent addition for my small collection. The seller didn't know but at the price I thought it worth the punt. Normally, I'm a phalaenopis type of person.

Can anyone out there help.

It's an Oncidium. It's possibly Burrageara Nelly Isler since there aren't a lot that are so red and that shape. But without a tag, it should remain a NOID. Definitely in the Oncidium family tho.

Oncidium family, with a good bit of Miltonia in the mix. I don't grow Miltonias, but I am guessing it's a hybrid (NOID). Nice plant fredbear! And Welcome!

Thanks. Not bad value. £8 in a UK supermarket.

I'm so proud of myself - I *guessed* the same thing! I really feel like I'm starting to learn a bit more.

It's a beautiful bloom! Enjoy!!
