NOID Oncidium
I've had this plant for several years now, got it from the collection of a deceased neighbor. It never had a plant tag. This is its first bloom, and it was unusual enough I thought getting a potential ID was appropriate. The individual flower is almost exactly 2" (5cm) across from tip to tip. Oncidium growth habit, so pretty sure about that (related genera?) The colors in the photo are not too good - the petals are more chocolatey and the red on the lip is very deep - not quite maroon but almost. The white on the bottom of the lip is absolutely pure white - no shading or splashes - and the line between the red and white is very distinct, with no transition. Any ideas?
A little more info - the fellow I got this from was into species, so there's very little chance it is a cross. Also, the plant is old - at least 25 to 30 years old, probably even more.
I've added a new photo - please help!
