Thanks,

Did the second photo help at all? I had similar suspicions as to the
search for sun. Sadly it seems to want to bloom in late winter. Perhaps
I'll have better luck this time around.

Like Diana, I can't tell a thing from the photo, but I can put forth the
observation that anything putting out that long of an inflorescence is
trying to reach out - above everything else where there is lots of sun -
to make itself seen.

I have an Oncidium maculatum that does that, and it has performed much
better since I moved it to very bright conditions.

I have this orchid that each year puts out this long flower stalk that
then dies before flowering. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone identify
the type of orchid? Thanks.
