# hello! i just purchased this orchid yesterday. it was labeled…

_Posted by vicky \<3 on 2026-02-15_

hello! i just purchased this orchid yesterday. it was labeled "dancing lady orchid" at the nursery, but i'm not sure if it actually is one. the shape and color looks different from the ones i've seen online. does anyone have an idea whether it's a dancing lady, or what kind of orchid it is?

It’s an Oncidium of the ‘dancing ladies’ group. There’s a lot of hybrids and many different colors and patterns. Post to the orchid group and they will likely have an answer for you. It’s a beautiful flower!
