Oncidium - help!

I bought what was labelled a "Cambria" in February, at which point it was in bloom. The flowers didn't last for very long and it has not flowered since. I think it is some kind of Oncidium orchid but not sure of the exact name. I have posted these two photos from the internet as they look similar, but as it has not flowered for so long I am not certain. The leaves are quite tall - about 50cm. It has been sowly producing a new pseudobulb, but it is staying really thin rather than widening up, altough it is firm. I have just put the plant outside as I have heard doing this for about 4 weeks can help. Am I doing the right thing? How get I get it to flower agan?

Many thanks!

Olivia.
