since i'm such a novice, i need some help.

i've seen it a couple of times but now that i am looking for it, i can't find it.

it has very smallish blooms of yellow. to me it's gorgeous and i must have one. but i have no idea of the name or anything.

anyone out there that can help me?

Oncidium perhaps?

Sounds like an oncidium to me too. Especially since it's smallish.
Jenmcd---do they kind of look like a lady with a skirt on? and little arms sticking out and a small head on top? if so, then it's an oncidium and you can find them at many home depots and lowes. They tend to be good house plants.

It does sound like you are talking about an Oncidium. Here is one, does what you are looking for look like this?
