What kind? Zygopetalum? No flowers.

Hello!

Short question: What kind of orchid is on the pictures?

Longer:

I bought two plants of seemingly an identical kind of orchid, the kind is unknown and they were without flowers when I bought them (very fun and very cheap to buy like that). He said "The only thing I know is Cambria", possibly he meant they are "Cambria". I'm definitely not an expert, but they don't look very much like the other Cambria I've seen, although I found some more similar now.

The plants looked great and they are somewhat similar to my Zygopetalum hybrid (which looks identical or similar to Zygopetalum "Louisendorf"): The pseudobulbs are in both kinds big, thick and tall and the succession of pseudobulbs seems to go slightly upwards. The leaves are only slightly similar, the unknown have longer, more elongated and tougher leaves. They are also more downturned in the edges and at least when I bought them they hanged a lot.

What kind is it? Thanks for trying!

Hello and welcome to the OB. Your plants look nice and healthy but I can't help you with an identification. Since Cambria are Odontoglossum and Oncidium hybrids you may have to wait for blooms to get close to a name. Others with more experience will chime in soon.

yeah - they are likely Oncidium alliance inter-generics and I have heard the term Cambria used as a catch-all name for them.

Thanks for the welcome and the information!

All information is welcome, even just things like likely flower colour

I like succulents and "leaf plants" among many things, and I really like these plants even without flowers, they are nice and exciting.

There is a huge variety of Oncidium inter-generics, so couldn't really say what color, or even size the blooms may be. Tho many are quite spectacular! Most do well with moderate light - east or west window if inside - and like to be slightly moist, but not soggy. Most seem to like intermediate-warm temperatures.
