Default Could this be a brassia?

Hi, I just bought this lovely orchid, but it didn't have an identification tag. I've attached photos here, but the flowers are nearly a light green/cream and have a lovely peppery smell. Could anyone help with an identification?

I think it's an Onc inter-generic. Degarmoara maybe? (Brassia, Miltonia, Odontoglossum)

No problem, Cindy - it's always nice to be able to id a NOID...even though you can never be 100% sure, this one doesn't seem to have very many lookalikes, so it's a pretty sure bet.

Hope you love yours as much as I love mine. It gets bigger and has more flowers every year. Mine blooms sporadically throughout the year with just a couple flowers, but this time of year it puts on a HUGE show - I have around 20 flowers on mine right now - reminds me, I need to take some new pics...
