Hi Nona, And Welcome! Your plant looks to be some sort of oncidium alliance intergeneric. Possibly Colmanara, which has a new name that escapes me at the moment. They will reward you with a nice long spray of flowers that stay for weeks.

Hi,
Thanks for your fast response. I checked some images, but my buds are sharp, which is unusual for oncidiums as I know. Also I know that oncidiums provide lot of flowers, but my plant have three spikes , two of them with 5-6-7 buds. The bigger bud now is one inch long, later I will put image from today.

Welcome to OB Nona!
I agree with Bill that it's some type of oncidium alliance intergen. Here's a picture of my Bllra. Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Morning Joy' in Bud.

I agree that it's an Intergeneric Oncidium hybrid. The Bllra will definetely produce 6 to 12 big flowers on the spike not like a Sharry Baby that will branch and produce a lot of flowers per spike. By the way you will need staking or the spikes might break on you.

It looks like it's a hybrid with brassia in it (a lot of brassia hybrids tend to have starry, pointy flowers). Not exactly sure which one it is, though.

I would guess at brassia or miltassia judging by the shape of the psbs and the buds.
