It seems oncidium-esque... - Orchid Board

Can anybody get me closer to a genus?
Plant was given to me by an attendee at a talk I gave on (quelle suprise!) orchids. She said it hadn't bloomed in years; I don't grow anything oncidium, so maybe the cultural key is a free NOID!
Large, flat pseudobulbs; the older ones are alligatored, but that might be cultural, they were like that when I got them! Foliage is long, kind of floppy; again, could be cultural.
Thanks for any clues.
Regards - Nancy

Rossioglossum?

Definitely in the Onc family.

could be a species oncidium. flower size here appears too small for rossioglossum

I have no idea, but the flowers look like some crazy gorgeous birds. I like it!

Most likely one of many "oncidium intergenerics". I would guess a burrageara, wilsonara, or the like.

I'm with Ray. I see some Rhynchostele bictoniense in the backgound. Send the image to Woodlands Orchids (Page Title) and ask Rolf for his opinion. He's one of the few active hybridizers in the group and should know it if it is a meristemmed clone.

Hope that helps, Eric

Hi Nancy,

I haven't been on here in a while and was going through some old posts and found this one.

I think I can pretty much confirm without a doubt that your NOID has a name -

Odontocidium Everglade Elegance

I have the same one - here is a photo:

I absolutely love this one!

Oooooooooooooooo - eerie! It must have been doomed - uh - destined to find its way to me!
Cheers and thanks - Nancy (no-lee)
