i bought an orchid yesterday, and i'm not sure if it came with a thingy saying what kind it was, but if it did i lost it can you help me out? i took a few photos, i'm sorry they're not great quality and the flowers are a much brighter yellow in person! link to the flowers is here: http://vis-caria.tumblr.com/post/402322 ... i-bought-x just click on each photo to enlarge it, it won't redirect you to another page
Beautiful color. If you would go ahead and upload it to the topic the photo would be larger and easier to see for an ID. Instructions are How To: Post Photos Thanks
wait, i put them on my garden. you can look there moderator's note: added photos from member's Garden
thankyouu do you have any idea what they are? i've looked everywhere and i can't figure it out, they're my first orchids
Yes I am pretty sure Barb is right, probably 'tiger' something. Most of the yellow coloured ones are called tiger.
I would say it is a odontocidium or perhaps colmonara. At first I thought oncidium but the flowers are much larger which makes me think it is a cross.I've grown oncidiums or "dancing girls".Sure are pretty in full bloom & they do look like dancing girls. sNs
hmm perhaps a cross? i googled (google image searfch) colmonara orchids and the flowers look a lot like what i have but i can't see any with the same colours? they're all much different colours. it looks a lot like an odontocidium as well. arhhh so difficult!
Or, hollaaa, you could forget about the kind of orchid it is and take the time to enjoy the flower. LOL They are such wonderful flowers. What a gift. You are lucky.
hahaha i'm treating it like an odontocidium for now haha, but i'm going back to the nursery i bought it from soon, so i'll take it back and just check with them what type it is x
