I have another question. I found this plant yesterday, it was labeled as Vylstekeara cambria. Guess it is Oncidium alliance? So, as our garden center dosn't have much knowledge about orchids, I thought it would be better to ask you guys about it...

the correct spelling is Vuylstekeara Cambria. you can treat it as an Oncidium.

...except that that plant is NOT Vuylstekeara Cambria! Which looks like this:

The popularity of Vuylstekeara Cambria 'Plush' (pictured above) somehow led to "Cambria" being used as a generic term for similar Oncidiine intergenerics in Europe.

Generally, since they tend to have more odontoglossum in them, they should be grown a but cooler than a "pure" oncidium.

I had this plant too, from a Homebase store. Mine has reflowered but was a rescue and is still sickly. The nearest I got with an identification was Beallara 'Eurostar'*::*Odontoglossum*::*Easy Orchids links to Easy orchids UK web page

I think it's the same. Beallara is a multi generic hybrid of Brassia, Cochlioda, Miltonia and Odontoglossum (Brs. x Cda. x Milt. x Odm.). Links to wikipedia pages

Yes, that's probably it! Thank you very much! :D

:D No worries

That looks exactly like my Goodleara Eurostar. If it's the anything like mine, it could put out 3or4 spike / pbulb.
