Coelogyne? Not sure.

Can anyone identify this orchid? It's quite large with leaves more than 12" long, and has bloomed once a couple of years ago. Coelogyne is my best guess, but I can't seem to find one just like this, with the same markings. The flowers were on a spike, and were good sized. I believe it made 9 flowers that time. Can’t remember if it had a scent, though. Any tips on getting it to bloom again would be great. Thanks!

It's an Oncidium alliance intergeneric, not a Coelogyne

Yours is a Dgmra Winter Wonderland, probably a mericlone of 'White Fairy' AM/AOS.

I have one and they bloom in late summer if I remember correctly. So far I am treating them with high filtered light and I have mine in semi-hydro. I'm hoping to rebloom it again this year.

Thank you both so much! I never would have guessed this was an Oncidium--I thought most Oncidium flowers were much smaller. And none of my books have this variety either. And yes, mine bloomed in late summer as well.

Well this is a cross of 3 which can be larger than Oncidiums.

Good heavens, who knew? It's quite beautiful, though.

Does anyone know if this orchid is relatively common? Just curious.

It is readily available for purchase. I got mine from SLO Orchids-if I remember correctly (a cutting bare root from one of theirs) via ebay auction.

I think they were $7 per cutting if you bought 8 and they had a large list to choose from. It was a really good deal because the cuttings were large and 3 of them bloomed right away.
