Please help ID this orchid
Dear all,
Please help ID this orchid. I bought it about a year ago. It's mounted on a cork log. It has never bloomed since I bought it. I think I saw a picture of it's bloom from the owner back then but I lost contact with that person. I remember the blooms were bright orange with some yellow. I really need to ID this orchid so I can give it proper care.
Please help.
Thanks
CC

Would need to see the blooms - it could be quite a few different things from the plant habit.

another way to ID that is to send a sample to a lab and get its DNA (somebody here posted a lab's addy and it is just sent by mail and its really cheap)
That is a healthy happy plant. whatever youre doing is right.

Looks a lot like Dinema (Encyclia) polybulbon, but as Ron said it's difficult to positively ID without a bloom picture. Does this picture look like the flower you remember?: IOSPE PHOTOS

Ron is right, you must let it bloom for us to give a shot on ID ing it |

Sorry Nat, it happens to me also !
I'll take bets on it being Dinema, everyone else ! Look closely at the pix !!! Do you really need a DNA test to identify your chid ???

Oh my goodness! You're all awesome. I knew this is the right place to ask.
Yes, the picture that I saw was exactly like that except the color was a bit brighter but of course it was a different camera, light...etc.
Thank you very very much. Now that I have a name, I will search to see what the growing condition should be. Hope it will bloom sometime next year. It's also very interesting to know there is a DNA lab for orchid.
Thanks
CC

Chryss - You never know, there are a bunch of "people" running around this wonderful country of ours who claim to be human beings, sure would like to have them prove it to me by way of a DNA test.  |
