Is this cattleya?

I got this one (NOID) as a baby at the beginning of this year.

It is still pretty small but has spiked.

Does it look like a Cattleya? Or is it difficult to say until it blooms?

Thanks.

It looks like some sort of Oncidium to me.

I'm with Vivienne - oncidium or intergeneric

Defiantly not a Catt. I'd go with the rest it most likely an oncidium or intergeneric I’d go with oncidiumI have about 12 of them same type of spike as well

Thank you all.

I think you are all right about it being an Oncidium.

I should have guessed from the look of the spike!

It may bloom soon

I think the P/S bulb should have given you a clue pikevi

Might even be a Miltonia.

Yes, fred.

I have no idea when I will be able to grasp the basics in orchid growing

.

I think orchids will be my 'waterloo'

After Cynthia mentioned it I compared it to the Miltonias I have . They look the same

Thank you all.
