Default Potted Colombian Orchid
Can anyone identify this orchid for me. I assume itīs native (to Colombia) but since it was acquired as a hanging plant I really donīt know.

Thank you.

It looks like a Cymbidium iridioides, though I'm no Cym expert. If so, it is not a Colombian native, but a native of India, Burma, and China.

No, it's not native to Colombia. It's a Cymbidium species.

Cymbidiums in general are native to Asia.
