No need to wait, Oncidium is fine. To me, just having the genus of an orchid is a valid enough ID.
Muckpuk
Shall I then ID it as a Oncodium? Or do I need to wait until an exact ID?
Dan Doucette
Yeah, dancing lady is the common name. As for getting the exact ID, it could be really tough, unless its a species, as there are so many hybrids out there.
Muckpuk
Hey Dandoucette Thanks That's the one! ( I see they also call them Dancing Lady " cute ) Not exactly sure which particular one though. Anyone else?
Dan Doucette
Nice orchid. Probably Oncidium or related. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncidium
