Can anybody name this little oncidium beauty?

I really like this little oncidium beauty with no name, can anybody help?

This really caught my eye because the shape and especially the colors are somewhat similar to my Miltassia 'Royal Robe". I can tell it's not that, but it looks to me as if it has a good bit of Brassia in it, and the leaves, from what I can tell, resemble Miltonia leaves. What, if any, do the pseudobulbs look like? And about what size are the blooms? I would never say I could id it, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a hybrid from the Oncidium Alliance. No doubt there are other who have far more information and experience than I do. It's very beautiful and I hope you do get an id!

Here is a picture of the pseudobulbs and the bloom is 3x4 inches. I really like the color and the form.

Always hard to ID exactly, but my guess would be Mtssa. Royal Robe 'Jerry's Pick' HCC/AOS. It is a lovely orchid, one of my favorites.

Thank you both Maura & Kathi, I apprechiate it.

After looking at your link, I am sure it is exactly as you said. The bloom is the same. Thank you.

I honestly can't tell what the pseudobulbs look like - and Kathi, I agree with you that it closely resembles a Miltassia Royal Robe - but both
'Jerry's Pick' and my "Abby's Wonder' have blooms more like 5-6" across and even longer down - and the lip on this one is extremely prevalent. It would be good to know if Gabriela's plant has the subtle patterning in the petals. If you have a Royal Robe, you are very fortunate, and it amazes me that such a well-known and awarded orchid would ever come without an id.


The colors are really hard to show in a digital photo, but you could compare the shape, etc., with the miltassia in the link below.

I never remember how to inset the link, but this is it, anyway.

Yes, sorry my photo wasn't better lit/positioned, but yours looks just like 'Jerry's Pick' does in person. It is a great orchid, and the blooms just get more plentiful & bigger every time it blooms...very vigorous plant.

thank you both, I am so glad I got this one.

Beautiful coloured miltassia. Could be Royal Robe or hybrid of it.
