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.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your analysis. I'll post pics of the blooms when they arrive.
