I found this on my doorstep...

It's amazing how many people in New York buy orchids and treat them like cut flowers, just throwing them away when the flowers die.

Can you take a pic of the less destroyed flower? Just to have an idea

I too think it is a Gramm....such nice shiny leaves....Jean

Yes, by the shape of the bulb and leaves = grammatophyllum; cymbidium family.

Well watered and fertilized in summer, and warm 65+ during winter if you are able.

All the light possible.

It easily drops leaves after 18 months/two years; and loses the pseudobulbs often too. They actually rot without hurting the rest of the plant (just so you don't unnecessarily get anxious).

They also have two types of roots -- downward and upward -- by nature.

Have fun.

Grammatophyllum looks right! Thanks guys, I would have never figured that out on my own, I never even heard of it before!

[WhiteRabbit]

Glad someone was able to help with I.D. I honestly didn't think this was Oncidium alliance at all, but didn't know what it might be.

[Laserbeak]

I just hope it's not the one that grows to weigh tons. It would be like "Little Shop of Horrors" in here!

Let's hope it is G. scriptum and its variants.
They are sold as pot plants. The blossoms are yellow with brown markings ("scripts"). There is a variety with only the yellow flowers = var citrine, or something like that.

The flowers were all but dead when I got the plant, but from what I could make out they would not have been inconsistent with this description.
