Good things do come in small packages! Need Advice guys

My husband surprised me with this Noid from Kroger. The flowers are so tiny and abundant. It looks like an Oncidium, not sure. Can you guys identify this one and give me some growing advice.

Can I keep it inside? Outside?

Thanks friends

It looks like it's probably a Miltonidium (Miltonia x Oncidium) hybrid of some sort. I don't grow these but others here on the forum do. General Ondicum culture will apply. If you have not already done so, get a culture sheet at AOS | Members Only Area Other members will probably be along soon to give some tips not found in the culture sheets.

Well my Milt I kept inside somewhat not bright light. But, the oncidiums I have I keep outside. Confused? Where do I put it?

A Mtdm should be okay in the same light you give oncids. This time of year, it's good to have oncid intergenerics, including mtdm, outdoors. With the nights lengthening, they set spikes outdoors in August and September.

If it's in bloom, I would keep it indoors to enjoy the flowers, tho.
