It has a budding keiki that is starting to grow.No roots/leaves yet though. I misted it couple of times. And it is getting lot of air circulation and some indirect light in patio. Seems OK so far.
I understand, not supposed to water till it has decent roots so I am trying to ignore it best I can.

You are correct; this is what should be in the tag for now:
Cycd. Taiwan Gold 'Orchis'
parents are: (Cycnoches chlorochilon x Mormodes badia - Orchis Flor. 17/5/2004)
produces strongly fragrant inflorescences of waxy cobalt yellow corn eared-coloured flowers. This is a specialist hobbyist plant. If you are going to give Catasetinae a try, remember to keep them 'warm' and give lots of light (more than cattleyas). I grow mine out on the fire escape in direct sun now that frost is over.
An Australian grower won the prestigious Grand Champion award at the 2011 20th World Orchid Conference held in Singapore, thats when the genealogy of Cycd. Taiwan Gold has come under some scrutiny. A grower from Taiwan filed an objection.
珍寶*園‧Jumbo Orchids‧蝦米小花園: Cycnodes Jumbo Puff or Cycnodes Taiwan Gold ?
By whatever name they may call it in the future, this orchid produces a pervasive unforgettable unique fragrance! You have to smell it to believe it.
* at present: this is a highly controversial orchid plant.
