Tolumnia species ID?

[gixrj18]

The tag said Tolumnia variegata, but I'm not sure it was correct. I had a few of these that I got as part of an 80+ plant purchase last year. They were all species plants, and most were native to Florida and Cuba/Caribbean. This looks like it has a lot more pink in it than variegata does. I hope it is variegata, because I sold and traded away a couple of them. I don't want anyone to be disappointed. It is extremely fragrant....almost a citrus, jasmine-like scent, it is very pleasant. What do you guys think? Tolumnia variegata, or not?

I don't know if it is or not, but the leaves look a copper color on my computer, is that right? If so, I think that's a very neat little plant. I like the flowers too, and fragrance is a bonus.

Yeah, the leaves stay copperish red from sun burn. I keep it in the "Vanda end" of the greenhouse. All my Tolumnias have a little sunburn. My theory is....if they have a little tiny bit of sunburn, they should have no reasons not to bloom. I know they get plenty of food, so if they have enough light, they are good to go.

Sure looks like it!
