    Hello,
    I went to the Garden Show in Bangor Maine last weekend and I bought this orchid.The tag says Brsdm. Mark Rehfield 'Dragon Wings'. When I bought it only one bud was open, since then 8 more have opened. This is my first orchid. I watered it once - it drains well. It is in filtered light, and misted a couple times a day. Yesterday I noticed that a leaf is starting to turn yellow. What am I doing wrong? I have tried to search for this orchid on the internet to learn how to care for it, but I am having a hard time identifying the family, is it in the Oncidium family? Any information on the care of this orchid would be appreciated.
    Thank-You,
    Elizabeth

    Thank-You TonyR,
    The information and links were most helpful. I had been worrying that I had done something wrong and it was getting sick. I didn't like the look of that yellow leaf.
