I understand that, and I've read enough posts here to know better than to ever call a NoID something else on this forum.

The point of me trying to figure out what some of my NoIDs might be - like the one that might possibly be a Craw. Shive Island 'Everglades' - is to figure out how to keep it alive, not post pictures of it under false flags here. A little learning is a dangerous thing, and I've probably learned just enough to lethal, so I've stopped assuming that if it looks like an Oncidium Alliance, it needs to be treated like one, and started looking it up. I started with the grower's page of one of the suppliers of where I buy my orchids, figuring that would be a safe bet for IDing for culture purposes.

All that said and understood, your tenuous agreeing to my possible IDing has made my day
