Default ID help, Camria?

It is my understanding that the term Cambria had become slang for any
complex Odontoglossum type cross. This is mainly used in Europe. I guess
it came from the decades old cross named Vuyl. Cambria. This cross was
so popular that the name Cambria started being used for other similar
crosses. The clone 'plush' won several awards.
Vuylstekeara is a mix of Odontoglossum, Miltonia, and Cochlioda.
Your Cambria may be a Vuylstekeara or it may be some other hybrid genus.
You can probably grow it just like an Oncidium but it might prefer
slightly cooler temperatures.


Thanks Steve. I first thought of this question some time ago and back
then I could find nothing on the web. I was looking closely at the plant
today and thought I would have to split it some time in the future so I
posted without doing another search. Of course on consulting google this
time, after posting, I turned up the Vuylstekeara link. My plant does
look very like the picture at http://tinyurl.com/plea so it may be a
Vuyl hybrid.

I'll split it as an Oncidium and keep my fingers crossed.
