She is beautiful but I can't help you with an ID. There are so many hybrids that look so similar it is pretty much impossible to know the hybrid name unless it came with a tag. NOIDs are just as great even though they are NOIDs! I have a similar Cymbidium I got at Costco but mine doesn't have a tag either. You could give it an unofficial name of your own. But of course if you show it or breed it you have to say it is a NOID.

Wow! Judging by the colours it looks like it might have Cym lowianum in it somewhere, but Wynn Dee is right - it'll be impossible to properly identify a hybrid NOID.
She also had 3 new growths when I got her, she was the only one like it in the bunch and they were in the process of unloading it from the skid when I saw her so I snatched her up quick. She was fresh from the grower so walmart hadnt had a chance to kill her yet lol
I looked in my cymbidium book (1000 hybrids) but no exact match. There are literally thousands of hybrids. Your hybrid is grown fast and furious for the box store plant trade. Probably a decade old and no longer sought after by cym collectors. Not to say it isn't a very pretty cym. I like it very much. I have something similar but it is a noid too. See what you can do with yours and show us next time it blooms. I love looking at well grown orchids that have attained specimen size.
