I got this plant in a NYC Chinatown floral shop on 8/29/09.
It was on a $5.00 rack along with some other half gone plants the shop wanted to get rid of cheaply. At the time of purchase there was one long dried up spike with two blossoms that didn't make it on my bus ride home, along with some pretty dark and wrinkled pseudobulbs. I clipped the dried up spike and sprinkled cinnamon powder on it, repotted the plant with Oncidium mix from a pricey (but extremely friendly and helpful) online orchid supply merchant.
fast forward two weeks, there's new growth!! Not sure what it is that's why I'm posting this question asking the more experienced folks.
thanks for any help.
