Thank you so much for your comment & I most definitely will enjoy my new oncidium.

If that is what it is, it's an intergeneric Oncidium hybrid that will grow well under typical Oncidium conditions.
Even if I'm wrong about the ID, I think it's pretty certainly an Oncidium intergeneric of some sort, and you will do just fine with moderate light and temperatures and plenty of water in a well-draining mix that allows it to get not quite dry between waterings. I find that Oncidiums often take more water than I would expect. It's safer to err on the side of too dry, and the plant will tell you if you are keeping it too dry, because you will see accordion-like pleating on the new leaves. If you see that happening, that means you need to water more.
I'm glad you finally found one you like, and it's certainly beautiful! Congratulations, and good luck!
