Clueless in Idaho
 
I received a beautiful ODCM. Sunlight 'NN' Orchid for Mother's Day and I am newbie with orchids. I have no idea where to begin. It's very healthy right now and I would love to keep it that way. :roll:

Hello and welcome! I don't grow that particular orchid but someone else is bound to be able to advise you! Good luck!

Thank you, I have a lot to learn.

This is a hybrid called odontocidium. It is a cross (actually by this time it has been crossed a lot) between odontoglossom and oncidium. Which cross I don't know but all you need to know is to water it well preferably with good water low is dissolved solids and then don't water it again until it is almost dry again. And give it bright diffused light but not direct sunlight.
