Default Can you ID type of orchid?

Can you identify the TYPE of orchid from this foliage? It needs to be repotted. It has great sentimental value.


Thanks!

It probably is from the oncidium family. The picture is not clear enough to determine the exact orchid. Try to look up DANCING LADY ORCHID. It may help you identify this plant. An orchid needs a flower to be correctly identified.

Here are some clearer pictures.

I thought the foliage might give a hint to the type. Impossible to know the variety. Certainly not a phalaenopsis.

OMG, Honey found a pic. Note the foliage is not the same plant as the bloom.

It appears to be a miltassia.
