_Posted by vicky \<3 on 2026-03-10_

hello! i just purchased this orchid two weeks ago, it was labeled "dancing lady orchid" at the nursery, but i'm not sure what kind specifically. looks like it might be an oncidium tariflor lady? ideas welcome!

Oncidium type orchids are all commonly called ‘dancing lady orchids’, and this bloom shape and color does look like the Tariflor Ladies that I have seen. Is it fragrant? Something reminiscent of cocoa or vanilla?

All blooms fell since I first got her🥲I'm not sure what she smells like. The guy at the store did smell it and I'm pretty sure he said it didn't smell chocolatey but I don't know for sire :,)
