Not sure...

Hello ALL!

First off, THANK YOU to all who replied to my threads...the info and input was great.
Since I cannot stay on long (otherwise I would spend HOURS here just reading the posts and articles), I try to make the best of the time I have online.

For this thread I am looking for identification of my most recent buy...
I will not show the whole plant (it is a rescue job...and I was very mad to see this orchid treated as badly as it was), it has the growth of pseudobulbs and thin flat leaves.
As far as I can tell, it is an Oncidium...which Species and/or Hybrid. I do not know, was hoping someone may know.

Well here it is!




Though this orchid is almost past the point of no return, I am still going to try and bring it back (I have take photos of it as it is now...at some point in the future when it is healthy again. I will post its before/after pics).

...!also...have a few other pics I am going to post soon. My Dendrobium denudans is going all out for me. Last count it had 2 spikes with at least 20+ flowers on each...AND!
It has 4 main growths with 2 or more spikes per growth!
There are pics of it on my gallery from its first single spike.

Thank you anyway, as to if this orchid is fragrant...


Unable to tell you. I had to clip off the spike as you see it. As I said earlier this is a VERY sick plant, and to "boot", it had Mealybugs on the flowering part of the spike. I removed as many as I could find, then looking closer I could see smaller ones up against the flowers.
So I cut it off at the lowest point where there weren't any, gave the rest of the orchid a good cleaning and used a very mild insecticidal solution.
I am hoping this will work after a few rounds of the mild solution...and not shock the already hurting orchid.

..and yes..I couldn't resist letting this one go 'cause it is a gorgeous flower!

Those are beautiful little pink flowers! I wish you luck in your battle with the mealy bugs!

Looks like an Oncidium ornithorhyncum to me. It should smell strongly of vanilla (chocolate to some).
