Name this Yellow/Brown Oncidium Orchid

[CR7cristiano]

I've had this for some years. Was given a piece which I set and has grown significantly since. About a year or so ago I took a piece from the main plant and set it. It has grown but has not flowered at all like the mother plant.

I would really love to get the full specie name of this Oncidium.
That way i can know exactly what i'm doing wrong so i can change that and hopefully get it to bloom.

Check out the pics and let me know!

Thanks!

looks like it is flowering good now, lol....you have an oncidium sometimes called 'dancing ladies'....it is a hybrid, and there are many which looke identical to that one....so there is no hope of a positive id for you.....just enjoy it as it is, good growing!!

The pics i posted are of the mother plant. No such luck with the division i set though.

I really wish i could get the scientific name.
