    I just bought an orchid with "Cambria" on the tag.
    I looked up the name on the Internet, and found the description and pictures.
    Cambria seems to be a hybrid of oncidium, miltonia, and some other species.
    But the pictures don't look excactly the same as mine. My orchid has flowers slightly different.
    Would you confirm that it is a cambria orchid?

    Thank you!

    It sure looks like it to me. I had to search for other Cambria plants (also some listed as Beallara) but it is the group of orchid hybrids referred to as Oncidium intergenerics. One orchid in this group is Vuylstekeara Cambria 'Plush' FCC/AOS, so Cambria can refer generally to group of related hybrids or specifically to a hybrid cross that also show some variation ('Plush' would refer to a specfic plant only with the proper names before it, it could also have sisters from the same cross that would vary somewhat in appearance). Sometimes a more descriptive tag will be pushed down in the pot, if not it is a very nice plant.

    I sent an email to the producer (in Holland) and they replied that it was a miltassia (hybrid of miltonia and brassia)
