So i saw these absolutely beautiful striking yellow flowers and of course i bought two plants. The flowers are similar but are different in size and the brownish red markings.

The guy at the orchid place said they were odontoglossums, but i saw pics that has me thinking otherwise!!

Can you guys help me i don't want to kill them

Check out some of the species Odontoglossums here:
Jay's Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia - O - Op

It certainly looks to me like your's could be crosses of some of these. If that's the case, most of them like cool temperatures...

Here are some culture sheets to get you started:
Ivens Orchids Odontoglossum Culture Page
Oncidium & Odontoglossum Orchid Care - Carter and Holmes Orchids Culture
Mt Beenak Orchids
(scroll down to Odontoglossum)

I've seen something similar somewhere before. I vaguely remembered the name/cross(Maclellanara) and a google image search came up with this from Paramount orchids:

It's an Oncidium Tiger Butter x Brassia verrucosa. It looks similar to the one on the right in the 2nd pic you posted. I don't think it's the same, but they obviously have very similar parentage!!

Btw, they are both beauties!! If I come across them in a store one day, I'm snapping them up!

OMG That looks almost exactly like the smaller of the two orchids!! Thank you soooo much for finding that pic
