I bought this at Costco. The flower had already bloomed but was well
beyond its prime. It's many months later and the plant looks very
healthy. Any idea what kind it is?

Thanks for your reply.

Its an oncidium of some sort. Yes, you are doing a nice job with it.
Congrats!

Hi K.

Thanks for the id. Can you tell from the close up how much longer it will be
until the flowers bloom?


Thanks for your reply.


Hi David,
It looks to me like you should have flowers in a week or two. Possibly
longer. When it does bloom, return here with a link to a picture of it.
Then we can get a more accurate idea of whether it's a pure Oncidium or
a hybrid with something else. My first thought was that the pseudobulbs
were a little tall for a pure Oncidium, but there are LOTS of different
Oncidium species and hybrids. The flowers will probably tell that story.
