Got this one a a home depot rescue last year. Dont know the name as it had no tag of course. But it is very fragrant and seems to grow well for me, so Im not complaining about anything other than not knowin what it is. Any ne have any ideas?

Hard to say, since there is a lot of Brassia hybrids with that color variation. My Brs. rex 'Sakata' looks like that, but I could swear I've seen ten other Brassias that looks similar to that. Here's mine:

I think its nearly impossible to be sure of the name...

Just have a look at this thread:

Both Helen and I have Brassia Eternal Wind, but we have two different named clones. Look at the patterning/colour differences just between these two - let alone other named crosses...

Give it a name that you like, and enjoy your blooms! Its a beautiful plant!
