Hi! I'm so glad I've discovered this forum. I'm completely new at this

I bought this stunning orchid and I have no idea what it is. And as you can see, I'm currently fighting with pests /I'm never buying orchids from a gardening center again. mealybugs, fungus gnats AND now some noID thin tiny bugs. You can see it on leaves/.

Any idea what that might be?

Welcome to Orchid Board

It's something in the Oncidium Alliance. Possibly a Colmanara or a Miltonidium genus.

It's likely impossible to tell exactly, or to be able to tell the hybrid, because there are so many intergenerics (crosses between different genuses) in this alliance. It does remind me of both my Colmanara and my Miltonidium in flower shape though... but there could be other things in the 'mix'.

There is a care sheet for Oncidium Alliance plants here.
AOS | Oncidium

I'm afraid I'm not good on pests so I can't really help with that.

Looks very Miltonidium-alike. Thank you!
And thanks for the care sheet as well! I really appreciate that

About the pests: It's already taken care of. I thought she would never bloom again after all those pests and she really looked like on the verge of dying, but she did!

Oh that's good. My colmanara is one I thought was a gonna, but it's both bloomed and is now growing for me. These things can be really tough and it's really worth the hard work when they reward you again
