Glad you enjoyed the picture.
Cullen is right it is an Oncidium sphacelatum.
Susanne my mother has had the original plant 30 years. She has divided it many times and given to friends.
At the moment she has 2 big plants like the one in the photo & 3 smaller ones. She grows them in charcoal.
Junebug, the other orchid you see hanging down near the geraniums is a Coelogyne densiflora.

An absoutely beautifully grown specimen. The whole picture is like stepping into another world. What a pleasure it must be for your Mom and I bet it leaves you with many memories when you return home.

MY JAW DROPPED when I saw that photo!
That's absolutely incredible! Too bad we don't have that kind of weather where I am!
I also noticed a cute Hoya in the pot next to the Onc.
I'm a fan of them, too :P
