Hi Happy Christmas everyone,
Please could somebody tell me what this orchid is. I picked it up nearly dead it was marked cambria. Thank you to any one that replies.

"Cambria" is a generic term that arose in GB for Oncidiinae (oncidium family) intergenerics. The term is based up the registered hybrid Vuylstekeara Cambria. That is not the ID of your plant (and I cannot tell you what it is), but it should give you some idea of its cultural needs: bright, indirect light, and open, airy potting medium, but a fair amount of water.

As Ray has said Cambria is a generic term used for any hybrid in the Oncidium/Odontoglossom alliance. I think quite often they are intergenerics within that alliance.

It may be possible for someone to give you a closer idea idea what genuses may be in it, but an exact ID is unlikely.

I'm going to move this thread into the Identification forum in the hope someone might be able to give you clue, but for care just go with standard Oncidium/Odontoglossom type care.

My first impression is that there is at least some Miltonia blood inside.
