Default What type of orchid is this?

Hello. I was told this was a fragrant orchid but i can't recall the name. It is no longer in the ground (long story) and back in a pot. I am wondering if it will ever bloom? I've had it inside since December and the outside once the weather became warm, about a month ago, but no change.

It looks like a Maxillaria after a haircut.

I agree on the ID, and would say that based on the fact you say it apparently is fragrant, it is likely Maxillaria tenuifolia. Certainly looks like it, though after one very terrible haircut.

Kept indoors, mine usually starts making new growths around the time that the buds start growing, in early April. So I'd guess that your should start some new growths rather soon, but it's a bit surprising that it hasn't (though that depends on the temps outside). It certainly is large enough to bloom, but I think it make need a year or two to recover and regrow leaves first.

As a note, if it really is a Max tenuifolia, they need a dryish rest in the winter in order to bloom in the spring. This means reducing watering, only giving enough to prevent the bulbs from wrinkling too much (light wrinkles are ok).

Thank you! The haircut came from my cats who decided to chew on it like grass before i caught them so it's a miracle this poor orchid is still alive.
