I didn't think that oncidiums could be crosses into a vanda .The oncidium is in the cymbidieae tribe and the vanda is in the vandeae tribe i would think it would have to at least be in the same tribe to cross and even then it doesn't always work.. I think i would have to see it in real life before i'd buy it or believe it.

Might be worth buying just to see what you get; might be a world first. Then again, it might not (be worth buying or a world first).

Hate to say it, but the seller is not great when it comes to correct names on his Ebay sales. I have seen a Dendrobium Anucha Flare listed as Cattleya by this seller on Ebay
