Identification request for this Orchid please

Hello everyone, Happy New Year to all, I have not been on this site for a while now because I have got to take it a bit easy for a while, I am still seeing about my babies though that is not very hard work so I will be ok.
I was given an orchid this weekend I am trying to find out what type it is, the person said that it is a hybrid she bought last year at the orchid show our horticulture society puts on annually but all she could say is that the flowers were green. I have not been able to see the parent plant so I cannot tell what it is. Attachment 74936 Attachment 74937 I hope that someone would be able to help me here, the leaves are a bit thick almost like the phal leaves, I have planted it into a clay pot with the usual orchid mix.

Methinks you have a 'phal' (phalaenopsis).

Not the clearest pictures, but that appears to be a short jointed pseudobulb below the leaves, so I think I'd rule out Phalaenopsis. A Dendrobium keiki perhaps?

My first reaction was also "Phalanopsis." However, like Kirk, I then noticed what appears to be a short, jointed pb which causes me to suspect that it may be a Den.

Here is another orchid I took a pic of today but I do not know the name at all, need some help please thank you Attachment 74979

That is a Psychopsis of some sort. Looks like a hybrid, maybe 'Mendenhall'. The species would be: Psy. versteegiana, Psy. kramerianum (my fav), Psy papilio, and Psy sanderae. Mendenhall is a cross of Psy. papilio x Psy Butterfly, and Psy butterfly is a primary hybrid of Psy. Papilio x Psy sanderae.

Definitely Psychopsis, as Yug replied, formerly Oncidium. The various species and hybrids can be impossible to tell apart from a picture, and not much easier in person.

It would be better to start your own thread for a new identification. It will get more attention, and with multiple identifications in one thread it can get confusing which people are referring to.

Also, if you can get a close-up of the top of the intricate column if would help with possible identification.

Maybe its a Dendrobium Phalaenopsis of some type. Try to google images of this and you will see it is very similar to your orchid. They look like a Den. Nobile however their leaves are not flexible.

I have the same Pychopsis orchid as you and they are just so fascinating. Remember not to cut the spike it is a sequential bloomer and will rebloom on the same spike around a month after the first flower has dropped. I have watched a nursery grower on the internet and he said they can rebloom on the same flower spike for up 12 years.
