Hi there
I'm new here (from South Africa), enjoy browsing through your webpage. Been orchid'ing for about 12 years now..
I've got an orchid in my collection that I would love to identify, can anyone help me? The plant itself resembles a cymbidium (bulbs), but loses all the leaves during winter months.
I have got a picure of the flower, please see attached...
Many thanks~!!

hmmm, wouldnt know what it is, but interested to find out!
Many thanks, please find a picture of the plant - right now it's growing 2 new bulbs. The first time the plant went into this stage, I thought I killed it, but last year it flowered again. The leaves are very cymbidium-like, but I can see that it's definately not one..
Ps. the photo of the flower was taken in October 2008 (spring) & it flowered again last year's spring. Flowers lasted something like 2 months.
I bought it at a fare for VERY cheap, the guy there had a couple of them. It was planted in sand & nutshells, I repotted it this year into bark.
Thanks for your help!

Oops, sorry, here's the plant!
Hi there
Someone told me it's an EULOPHIA - I did some research & it seems as if they were right, but still not sure which one...
Many thanks~!
Maria
Thanks!
The plant went through a rough time when we had a hailstorm, but hopefully she'll
recover fully..
Have a great day!
Maria
It could be an Eulophia of South Africa I think?
